Ghana: A Week in a Toxic Waste Dump

[@gabbyallen9737]

I love that he didn't treat these men like a subject. He actually got involved, lived how they lived. Its so refreshing to see someone treat other people less fortunate than them like the human beings they are rather than having a barrier and making it clear he was there to garner information. So heartfelt and heartbreaking. Amazing people. A true testament to the human spirit, hard work, hope, friendship and sacrificing for your loved ones. I truly admire these men.

[@_Be_Still]

Unfortunately, the documentary didn't tell the entire story. Most of those guys are from the northern part of Ghana where the land is really good for farming. They produce a lot of organic foods and transports them to the southern part of the country. Unfortunately, the Government does not reduce the tax on fertilizers imports and even those that are procured by the government are given out to party people. The average farmer cannot compete and hence the rural-urban migration to Accra (the capital).

[@edgarasvas]

"the land is really good for farming...Unfortunately, the Government does not reduce the tax on fertilizers imports". You don't need fertilizers in really good land for farming, unless you are greedy as hell and want every time more and more.

[@_Be_Still]

@@edgarasvasYou clearly don’t understand what fertilizers are for. Even the best farming land still need fertilizers. Good soil has lots of nutrients, but over time, crops can deplete these nutrients. Fertilizers help replenish them to keep the soil healthy and support strong crop growth.

[@edgarasvas]

@@_Be_Still you crearly understand everything. Have you heard anything about crop plant rotation? As I was saying, greed. If you want 8 tons out of hectare instead of 2, fits your thinking.

I wish they could be educated on producing their own fertilizers and weedicides. You can't trust the West or any foreign companies. We have to become self sufficient. The thought that they would abandon food security for toxic treasures is painful to watch.

In the mid-1960s I shared a house with a bunch of guys attending college. I have no idea how Kotwee Asiedu Bonsieh is actually spelled. We all just called him Kass. His father was a wealthy tribal chief, and he was from Ghana. We'd often stay up late in the evening as he taught me tribal drum calls. I hope his status buffered him from what's become of his country. As the entire planet is crashing and literally burning, we can only pity people on the bottom rungs of the ladder. They're doomed. The end is predictable and inevitable, as this production makes clear. If you're still out there Kass, best of luck. This is an excellent documentary.

It's the sad (and infuriating) truth though, and it appears as though not many people realize what's coming, let alone the full, brutal extent of it. 2023 was a profoundly mindboggling year in climatological and ecological terms. "Much sooner than expected" is going to be, by far, the most often used phrase in article headlines dealing with climate in the coming two decades. Excellent documentary indeed.

or an closed oven where you could cabonize anything organic in there while distilling plastic-gas, instead of half-burn molecules and smog. There are machines to strip copper from cables, but they only work for cables from certain width and they're only for cables. I've seen in this video they be burning audio cables, where the copper is minimal so those machines wouldnt work at all on those, also cables shouldnt be tangled up or the machine wouldnt work if im right. The best option is that "closed oven" where you can put ANYTHING, be it cables, coils, motors, AC units, etc turn up the heat and let the organic shit vaporize/carbonize, the plastic gas can be also used as a fuel to re-heat the same oven, idk, just ideas trying to lessen contamination whilst providing a better approach. Ofc the problem is you need the big ass metal tank with an hermetic door so oxygen cant get in and set things on fire.
