Documentary Planet Garbage

@Irene McC Irene, noticing these things helps others to see them. This, in turn, helps to address the basic problem.

Keep up the good work, mate.
Thank you and I wish you were right; we all notice but nothing gets done about it (it just gets worse) - very depressing.
The above photo of the abandoned block is literally opposite the houses of Parliament.
There was an arson event in Parliament at the end of December 2021. Large parts of the roof are completely burned away - still so today, NOTHING has been done to fix it.
"it is an active investigation" and they've cornered one scapegoat who may or may not be responsible. Meanwhile, wind and rain continue to damage it further.
But let's not talk politics! This still fits the bill as "garbage" looking the way it does two years later

What is this?

M.
It is insulation material they use in buildings (under the roofs, for insulating walls, etc.) . Because of the carcinogenic fibres it is usually packed air-tight in wrapping of plastic-coated paper. Leaving this lying in the grass next to a school-buiding in renovation where lots of people pass is highly criminal in my eyes. When you get these fibres into your lungs they may cause cancer.
