You could have a sort through the rubbish that’s been dumped, and yes, perhaps do as they do in the Netherlands: here, the rubbish heaps are simply covered with earth at the moment; grass grows over them and then we’ve got yet another heap. It all seems rather unhealthy to me, but that’s just the reality; all in all, we simply use too much and throw away even more. Perhaps there are also parts or items in there that could be reused? Because materials are becoming scarce.
We also have the ‘invention centre’ here, where children can make things from a very young age; an artist set this up, and all the attractions therefore work without electricity. Good old-fashioned manual labour. The tools the children use are all non-electric too – just an awl, a hand drill and a hand saw. And believe me, both children and adults love it. We also host lots of company outings.
When I hear ‘Dump’, I also think of being dumped by a partner, abandoned pets and much more besides. In any case, it’s silly to dump things, but the problem remains, of course: where do you put it when you no longer want something or someone?
