Woman looking for plastic bottles

ukifalcon > albums > City dump Matamoros, Mexico

Album Info:

Inspirational? It doesn't look it at first glance. This woman is walking through trash in a dump in Mexico, scavenging for plastic bottles to sell to a recycler. This is what she does for a living. But she was very friendly, as were all the people I met in this dump. I was inspired by the positive attitude of the people I met. We in the States have so much, yet complain much, yet these people who have little rejoice when the garbage truck arrives and dumps another load of "treasures" - and that's an inspiration to me.

  • Wonderful image, and wonderful thoughts. The human dignity of this lady shines through her unfortunate circumstances. GREAT capture, great entry, and a great, creative answer to this weeks's challenge.

  • Awesome and inspiring - we should all be inspired to clean and recycle (and ashamed that other people are so wasteful). A thought provoking image.
