That is depressing reading. As a kid I remember spending some time near Bandung, fishing in the rice paddies and going down in some vulcano. It seemed such idillic place, this garbage mountain is hard to reconcile with the image I had of that place. Our legacy, poluted air and water and garbage mountains.
