The Dark Side of The Maldives....

This is what you see when you google pictures of The Maldives....






Well it appears there is a darkside.....



The Maldives are known as an unspoilt, paradise island destination for upmarket tourists but the BBC's Simon Reeve has paid a visit to a part of the Maldives that tourists do not see - a huge island waste dump.
He was accompanied by local conservationist Marie Saleem who explained how the country struggles with waste management.
The Maldives' government told the >BBC< they were looking at ways to tackle their waste problem.
