Protests Over Beirut's Garbage Crisis Continues by Savannah Boyack

            There have been daily protests over the past week about the extensive amount of garbage piled on to the streets of Beirut. The garbage collection has been accumulating and worsening for some time now causing the protests to turn violent over the weekend.

             I think this is a very serious issue that shouldn't have even gotten this far in the first place. Beirut should not even need a protest to see that trash gathering on the streets of the capital is not good. It causes serious health problems and is just plain horrible to live around. You would think that we would have all grown civilized enough to know that we need to clean up our own waste. I hope this gets sorted out soon.
