The Daily Mail Online have an article on the tire graveyard out in Sulaibiya. According to the article the tire graveyard is so big it can be seen from space. That’s not really true though since the tire graveyard is actually visible on Google Maps which is not really the same as being seen from space. A bit exaggerated but then again this is the Daily Mail. You can check out their article [Here]

What’s wrong with recycling?

This is the result of the ministries still not taking decisions, standing still
Sounds familiar, I could’ve sworn I posted that same topic on my blog 😛
Mark seems Google maps updated their imagery. They now made dirt roads to split the piles (probably after the fire, so flames don’t spread and are easier to contain). If they shape every pile to look like a country they can replicate ‘The World’ in Dubai.
Google Maps uses satellite imagery.
And satellites orbit the Earth in space.
You can see my house from space in that case
OF course you can. It’s the first thing I did when I installed Google maps 😀
Pretty fun finding the houses of friends and family.
wow can make shoes for every feet in the earth out of these many tires……
Flip Flops made from recycled tyres!
In Australia they have truck tray bed liners made from strips of recycled tyres …
Race track bumpers
Plant holders made from inside out tyres
Anybody else got ideas? : )
