A few months ago we got together with some of the folks who were working on the second season of the documentary series Trashopolis<\/i>, which had been airing on History Television in Canada.<\/strong>  The series was all about, as you might guess, the garbage in famous cities around the world, such as Rome, London, and New York.<\/p>\n

In season two, guess which very important city is featured?  You guessed it!  Our home sweet home, Mexico City.<\/p>\n

Now apparently you can watch the episode online in Canada – Trashopolis: Mexico City<\/a>, but we’re not in<\/i> Canada, of course, so we haven’t seen it yet.  According to this Trashopolis II page<\/a>, it will be airing on April 17 and 18.  Maybe some nice person would like to record it and send us a copy!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you can see the first three minutes or so of the episode below.  And guess what?  You can even see a bit of the footage we took during the Chalco Flood if you watch closely.<\/p>\n

Trashopolis has also been aired on the Smithsonian Channel<\/a> and the National Geographic Channel<\/a>, though I think they’re still on season 1.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here you are – lots of places we’re very familiar with – and, of course, lots of trash…<\/p>\n
