10 Dirtiest Cities
That Is For "LEAD" in the environment there.
They melt down lead car batteries there in open smelters.
Now you know why Dominicans are so "SMART"!:cheeky: :cheeky:
If they only looked at "Garbage" the DR would win all 10 cities!

Haina is actually listed 3rd worst in the world, behind only Chernobyl (rememeber the nuclear disaster?) and Dzerzhinsk, Russia, which has a death rate 2.6 times higher than the birth rate...eesh!!!
OK, where are all those posters looking for cheap DR real estate...I think there may be some deals to be found in Haina

I doubt it.
Have you been to Naples, Italy at all? The garbage everywhere, children playing street calcio (soccer), burning garbage dumpster, sewage ordor and your favorite, PROSTITUTES.
you are a negative unhappy and miserable person and no matter where you live you'll always be like this. Everything you say, about the DR has always a sarcastic twist and a negative tone. Lighten up dude.:cheeky:
btw: you are the dirty one inside and out.
well wether cccccccc is likable or not, or leads a sorid life or not...doesnt change the fact that that city is a super fund site and is listed because of its outrageously poisoned enviroment...FROM lead batteries.
the fact that it is listed number three ona site of the most polluted in the WORLD should be a wake up call to all dominicans.....
dont let dirtbags sell your country to the devil , and then walk away and live someplace else with the riches, while you stay behind and live with their plunders. Wether they are dominican themselves or not.
I read about that site....not good....and it will be like that for a long time.

I just had to get that out of my system, he definitly enjoys the fish in the Dr but its always criticizing the people and the island.
but Bob I understand what you are saying, but if the government or the leaders allow this kinds of things to happen, because they are greedy and corrupt to the core, what can I do? I wish I could do something. You know what? Maybe there is something we can do especially if we live in the US. We could probably get involved in writing letters in reference to these environmental situations. I think that's something I'll look into to. Also if more Dominicans would write letters and get involved and organized, changes can happen.

Just The Response I Would EXPECT From A Dominican!
They can NEVER accept any form of Criticism directed at them personally,Which I Did Not Do, or their country as a whole! It's always,"You are a LIAR",or, That's not true here!",or,"It's WORSE everywhere else,or they "ShootThe Messenger"! Hell,"Leonel" recently blamed the US for the "Drug Problems" in the DR!. It's "THE HAITIANSFAULT" for just about EVERY ILL,that plagues this "Garbage Dump" of a country!!
"Nuff Said"!
Instead of attacking "Others" they should look inward for a change!
If you won't recognize the problem,you can NEVER fix it!
Where is the "Good" for the dominican children who are being "poisoned" by dominicans by "Melting down lead",and letting the residuals contaminate the land,water,and air,in wasting your time criticizing me???
It's just the "Dominican Way"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least I am actually here,paying LOTS of taxes,(For the "Politicos" yepettas!) and trying to raise a few responsable,children who actually respect themselves,and their countrymen!
What the PHUCK are YOU doing???

And there you go again criticizing!!! You yourself are totally aplatanao, you are always whining about everything around you like we Dominicans do, so don't go saying "You Dominicans" 'cause you are one of us.
btw: you don't know how I contribute to the Dominican Republic so don't go ASSuming.

CC & MAR, if you two want to continue trading personal barbs, go right ahead -- but via PMs or emails, not here.
I think that the broader points about Dominicans complaining, not taking responsibility etc. have been made.
Now, what to do about about tackling the Haina contaminate site, how to tackle the lead-acid battery artesanal mining (don't dignify it by calling it "recycling"!) problem in the DR, and how to keep the DR from ever landing on such a list again?

Appeal to LF's ego
Allow me to throw a suggestion into the ring.
It seems to me that LF is constantly on the move trying to be like "the big boys"I think it is in the blood of all pols, whether they are corrupt, clean or in-between to want to leave a legacy of an achievment in their administration.Maybe, this is just the cause that would put him over the top in the eyes of his people and other country and city leaders.
The very fact that he went ahead with the Metro and made references to the train system in NYC are evidence that he would like to be "vision" in the eyes of (you fill in the blanks)_________________.
So, what I am suggesting is a lobbying effort, an international appeal, a public outcry, a system of heavy duty fines to the industries that are culpable, or any and all political action that will make LF look not like a "minor league player "in world politics but a man of vision.How to do this I DONT"T know but I do know that a concerted effort of pro-active steps can be very effective and perhaps tickle his ego.
Since I do not live in the DR ("what do you know your don't live here")nor do I have any voice in the political system ("you know shtye about politics in the DR) I offer this suggestion only as on observation from a person living in a major city that these tactics have worked in before.

A clean-up operation is planned, according to reports I read several weeks ago - by the DR environment and health ministries in conjunction with UASD and the Blacksmith Institute:

Does anyone know if this plant (that has since moved) was subjected to fines? How did they change their operation so as to be in compliance?

Interesting information Chirimoya.
Of course, this leaves the following info up in smoke, no?
CC said:
BTW, CC has some very good ideas! Washington should consult with him prior to "attacking others", because "if you won't recognize the problem, you can never fix it!"
What country do many Dominicans look up to? Hm, interesting.
-NALs :ermm:
The Goverment does not know how to work!
Try driving in Santiago, the sewers that are on many roads fill up and boil out unto the street. The underpass get so flooded that if you drive a small car you will flood your engine. Many time next Madre Maestra next to the river that flows into campus flows with waste this what backs up to the underpass and the manhole pups off. which makes it a driving hazard.Keep away from Estrella Saladah and 27 Febrero. Also Estrella Saladah in the Area of Hobra Publica just before Ochoa.even when its not raining the street are full of sewage, many building also dump laundry room water into the gutters, This latter problem is also Present in La Trinitaria the pipes are out in the open, sanitation is a unkown word. With the next election maybe, those with some brains and qualification in City Planning will stept up to organize, I am surprised that this town is 150 years behind the rest of th world.

yes.
you are quite right.i told some of my dominican friends that haina came third in this rateing and they started to moan and complain that they should have been 1st.:laugh: :laugh:
I just read the title to this thread ("10 Dirtiest Cities"), and noticed it's misleading, it should actually read the "10 Most Contaminated Cities". Lead is a contaminant, not dirt. Not trying to change the thread, but have you noticed that there are no vultures in the DR? Maybe the quoted poster could edify us on this situation. I've visited many South and Central American countries, and a very familiar sight are the hundreds of buzzards hovering around in circles, high above a spot where the dead swollen carcass of an animal is lying on the ground...
