While Abu Dhabi’s going down as an urban place, suddenly big words started coming into the picture: now everything is vision, mission, strategy, development, environment friendly and sustianable. So long ago, picking up the garbage from the garbage dumps was a much cleaner process without any of these big words. Now, the garbage cleaning company does ‘environmental services’ and yet the area around the garbage drums have turned into the dirtiest places, and the drums are placed anywhere, some on the facade of main streets. Why aren’t the pavements around garbage dumps in Dubai so sticky and smelly and fly infested?
