Cairo+Slums+Information

=__ Recycling in Cairo __= The slums of Cairo, Egypt is one of the poorest places on earth. Made up mostly of coptic christains called zabaleen it recycles 80 precent of the tons of garbage brought there. People search the garbage for things they can use, and food for their swine. Even a school for children learning to recycle has been built there. In the school plastic is shredded, washed, and dried. It is then made into new items. People survive on less than one dollar a day. Solar panals are built to heat up water. Using solar panals for haeting cuts down on 35 precent of gas let off into the air. We should learn from this poor city.If the whole world was doing this many of our enviromental issues would be solved. Also if everyone got by spending an average of only one dollar each day much more money would be saved to go to better causes. We are all at fault here.
