There is food in garbage.

In the Libertador district of Caracas, the urban poor exchange garbage they collected with sugar, rice, beans and canned sardines. I believe this is a project beneficial for everyone. The poor gets to eat (and earns it) while the district gets free from garbage thrown by IRRESPONSIBLE citizens. It also clears the sewages so that floods can be avoided during the rainy season.

May we all learn from this project.
