So let’s talk some trash, Because not everyone knows the truth about America’s trash or the fact that Philadelphia has had a problem with the disposal of our toxic waste for more then 30 years. It all started when philadelphia exhausted it’s landfills, so the city begin to incinerate our trash which created ash which consist of arsenic, lead, mercury, and other Harmful toxins. The problem was simply getting rid of all of the hazardous ash. There was literally nowhere for the Toxic ash to go so it was put on a ship called Khian Sea . The Khian Sea set out to sail across the country looking for a place to dump the ash. The ship was at sea for more than a year before Haiti agree to except the toxic ash.

Philadelphians thought that all of our problems were solved, but that didn’t last long because the Haitians were under the impression that the Esh was an ass it all but topsoil fertilizer and once they found out the truth they wanted to cancel all agreements and get the ash removed from the island immediately. Except that the ship had already set out to sail and left more than 4000 tons of toxic waste produced by Philadelphians to pollute their island. Haiti is such a poor country that they gladly excepted the toxic waste even before investigating its contents.. Simply put they needed the money most developed countries dump their toxic waste within developing countries. They need our money and we need their landfills.

Back to square one the ships set out to sell across the world looking for a country who would except the toxic waste. After finding nowhere for the trash to go the shit begin to change its name and sale for there until one day all the ash disappeared. The ash was going in the world assumed it was dumped overboard.

Other countries got wind of what was going on and got together and made an agreement that no rich countries could just come and dump their trash. Then eventually other countries besides the United States well also request on the right to at least ship recycled materials to other countries. by this time the Haitians caught up to the Philadelphian Famous, they wanted retribution . The Haitians demanded that the Philadelphians pay for the damages that were done to the island due to the pollution into come get what was left of the pollution. Yet the Philadelphians decided to do nothing, to say that the city didn’t have enough funds within the budget to cover the cost. The city of Philadelphia decided to leave the burden of our toxic waste to the country of Haiti.
