I was collecting pictures of garbage I was founding on the way in an expedition. In my country many people don't have the education to handle the garbage that they produce day bay day, or even the bottle of water or pop soda. So I made a document with many pictures of the founding garbage and then I pick it up and make a register of the companies where the garbage came from, and then, take it to the garbage container. After that, I contacted almost all the companies that had distributed the containers of the products I found, they told me that they don't have any responsability of the garbage produced by their product, that the last responsable of that was the consumer, as well as they didn't know about any program of recycling in the country. So I contact the Federal Office of Environment in Mexico, and they send me full information about programs to recycle, interesting information that I put in the show at EX-Teresa Arte Actual in Mexico city in the year 2001. Whatever the reality is that even with all that information about recycling, the industry doesn't care about it, the government doesn't care about the industry follows rules in the game, and the terrible damage that their disposables packages are doing without any control and responsability, is putting on the hands of the final consumers.
