Scavengers are the heroes of the environment

When you hear the word "cleaner", what I think?

Back in the days prior to recycling, I remember that travel with my dad to local rubbish tip and to see so many cool things sometimes refuse.


There would be people who dig through these piles-cleaning agents looking for items to sell or use; I saw it like fun, but the public perception of detergents back then was not very positive and most used look down your nose at these people, some of that affect rubbing to me also.


Back then the tip used to turn a blind eye to practice, but these days it has banned in most of the tips, shall apply.


But there are also much more control over what now goes to landfill in Australia and recycling stations are set up at landfills to attempt to reduce what winds buried trash. Landfill has taught us that there are large dollar made from junk.


The other day, I thought these additives and realized they were/are environmental pioneers and heroes of the battle. irrespective of their motivation for cleanup.
