What do you think about the case of garbage in Naples in Italy?

The garbage in Naples is a serious matter and I???ll try and sum it up for you. A great deal of it came from other parts of Italy and Europe, trucked down to be ???recycled??? (with considerable EU incentives). The problems were a) Naples did not build the recycling plants it got funds for b) the majority of the garbage was handled by criminal elements who simply dumped it in open air sites c) Naples and it???s region has a very low rate of differentiated garbage collection (about 8%, compared to 12% Rome, 36% Turin and 44% Milan ) and practically no recycling plants. Things came to a head ultimately, as the sum of these problems peaked, and we now have two emergencies, the EU threatens to cancel it???s grants and there is far to much garbage to be handled locally. Germany is offering to buy it as ???garbage fuel??? (they have enough recycling plants), the rest will have to be dealt with in the Region or in other, more advanced regions. Crucifying Neapolitans is unfair, the very same ethnic ???Neapolitans??? have created a clean paradise like coast (Costa Amalfitana) and one of the most beautiful islands of the Med. (Capri). Sociologically speaking ???Naples??? is the victim of ???laissaez faire??? Regional (to a lesser degree Municipal) mismanagement, a very high criminal presence (Camorra) and a fatalistic temperament.
It has now become a national problem and can only be solved with drastic measures, that in the end will make both the Region and the city a cleaner place.
