India’s Mount Everest of garbage

Ghazipur landfill in New Delhi is India's highest rubbish mountain, spreading over an area larger than 40 football pitches. It is predicted to grow taller than the Taj Mahal by 2020. Along with the smell, smoke and pollution from this mountain of trash are said to be the ‘cause of all diseases’ in the surrounding neighbourhoods.

That moment when you realize that football field has become standard of measure for everything

One Indian politician asked a japanese man, “how can you clean your city so well?”. Japanese man replied, “you don’t throw trash, that’s how you keep it clean. “

This human made catastrophe is depicted in Wall E but in this time and age we don't have interstellar mode of transportation yet.

When an Indian said that he couldn't bear the smell, it means no one could bear it

I used to live in Ghaziabad
And this mountain is visible from there too. Wherever you go, it doesn't get away from your sight and it smells awful. It's so depressing to pass by this place.

to solve garbage issue on this planet make everything reffilable, shampoos should be refilable so that no sachets or plastic are used, powder soap, toothpaste and many other items

This should be in the World Heritage Sites list.
Such an amazing marvel. *Peak of Human achievement*

This could be another wonder of the world like the Taj Mahal

At least they dont send their garbage in container to other country like canada

Charge $10000 to climb it. You'll have a conga line of climbers just like Everest.

Thank you for this once beautiful planet you have given us. We didn’t deserve, such a unexplainable magical place to live on.
