Trash Your Backyard?

No one wants trash in his or her backyard. No family wants a landfill where their children play. This is the issue the Greek town of Keratea is facing. The government is being very persistent about planting the landfill right behind the town. The major complaint of the local citizens is that the proposed location of the landfill is a treasure chest of archaeological riches. Other Greek towns have also faced similar protests over landfills in recent years.
The protests have been raging for around 3 months. They do not appear to be near a compromise.
