Vonitsa dump

Greece / Aitolia kai Akarnania / Vynitsa /
The infamous dump near the city of Vonitsa, situated only 1000m far from the local school. It often sets on fire and its distinctive smelly smoke can envelope the city. Waste burning is a major source of dioxin. Dioxin is the most toxic chemical known to science.

  • It is incredible! The local school is less than one km from the dump. They spent millions to renew the castle and not a cent to make a decent dump at a decent distance from houses and schools.

  • Today the dump was on fire!!
  • Is that for real???
  • It’s unbelievable! It’s unbelievable that they are doing these things without thinking to the consequences... the local people, the little children, the nature, the tourists, the animals, the vegetation, the soil... everything there is threatened by this crazy management!!! Unfortunately this is not the only one case in Greece, but politicians and authorities are doing nothing... maybe because they are not living there! sad, really sad!
