Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca
The reuse economy still holds strong in many parts of Mexico, like any other country with developing economies and income disparities. Reuse and repair trump recycling any day. Many folks make a living repairing things from washing machines to shoes to cars in Mexico.
Not necessarily a repair situation here but I thought this backyard or in-house mini anaerobic digestor was interesting. The store owner said you could use the fuel to cook. I would love to see more innovation in this space, especially in rural areas were you have to truck out tank after tank of cooking fuel.
You think that stroller is creepy, you should have seen the junk yard dog behind the computer towers. Some sketchy e-waste recycling going on at this warehouse.
Collected and bagged idling PET. A common sight at places along the coast where organization will collect the thousands of littered water and soda bottles. This all looks good to the tourist but these bottles will idle for a very long time and eventually be landfilled or worse, re-littered and end up in the ocean. As no one can economically get this material to market, it will not happen.
