Plastic holiday Written on October 3, 2008, by Ingeborg.
Back from holiday in Surinam, a former Dutch colony in the tropics. A country where ‘eco’ relates to low budgets. Where a shop sells autoparts next to watches, where a mosk lays next to a sinagoge. A country that is growing it’s own colony in the form of a garbage patch in the Atlantic, according to what I saw on the Surinam river banks. Thanks for a different view, Surinam!
