Head of the cleaning department

Present

Receive a cordial greeting in this letter. The reason for the present is to communicate the problems that the Tejupilco community has with the garbage in the streets.

Today it is presumed that about 15 thousand inhabitants of this area are exposed daily to breathing dirty air and the vapors that emerge from the garbage, which leaves health problems such as cancer and kidney diseases; in the last 15 years the number of sick people has grown according to data from the “regional hospital” that has reported about 1,200 sick people, of which 524 are of kidney failure and 236 have cancer.

One of the main causes of garbage contamination is garbage bags. Those that go out in the corners provoking the attention of the animals and break it making the garbage spread all over the street, also the lack of conscience that there are many people who throw the garbage in the street and don't know the damage they cause and the excessive consumerism of the people, Another cause is not separating the garbage is also another consequence because when it decomposes it generates more dangerous gases if you combine that they have tried to solve by taking out the garbage just when the truck passes so that it doesn't stay out too long and the animals don't water it and they have placed garbage cans all over the street for people to throw it out there, the garbage is separated in the container the car is carrying it in but it is very tedious for them and sometimes they don't do it.

We thing that would be a good idea if you and all people help us to avoid this problem, the things we recommend to do are:

  • Punishing people who do it
  • Hanging prohibition signs
  • Letting people know with brochures or campaigns about been conscience
  • Letting the car go more days or faster
