My Vent 😡
One thing that stands out and is even sadder in this report is those who are making the most money from the sale of used clothing coming into this part of Africa seem to show very little concern if any for the environment.
They also seem oblivious to the fact that used clothing can be a transporter of some dangerous if not deadly diseases.
Add to this the fact that this business is yet another contributor to the total loss of their cultures in so many ways.
This is especially true for those who embrace Christianity ... They actually think God is Blessing them because they are making money..... Once again religion and a white God has screwed up the mindset of a people.
Now in their Christian beliefs, they ignore the damage and the pollution of their precious natural rivers, streams, flora, and fauna.
This environmental disaster if left unchecked and unregulated can very well destroy all that is truly important for the life of their people.
To add insult to injury what this is doing to their cultures, their homelands is genocide of the land. They are abusing earth's mother and in so doing are destroying themselves... If their lands become unlivable how will they survive ???
Mother earth can not give life much longer in this land if this practice of using the country of Ghana as a dumping ground for the textile waste that is produced from Europe continues.
For sure it is also not a Blessing for anyone.
The dark side of the world’s fashion addiction is more of a Nitemare.
Again the fire of greed, ignorance, religion, and stupidity is raging.
Man-made destruction can cloud the mind.

The following is a very short excerpt from the article accompanying the video on the
YouTube Australian Chanel. Click on the video to see and read the entire report.
The dumped textiles also get swept up in the monsoonal rains and end up choking the city’s
waterways and beaches, posing a danger to fishermen and aquatic life. Liz Ricketts, who runs
an NGO campaigning for awareness of Ghana's textile waste crisis, lays the blame at the feet
of international fashion houses.
While 60 percent of imported fashion items are reused and resold, 40 percent are rubbish,
creating an environmental catastrophe for this poor nation.
