Our maintenance man does a lovely job but then dumps any rubbish over the wall unless asked not to!I do believe there is an element of if it is not on my land it is not a problem. At least it is organic waste though and we can dispose of it.

I cannot see British tourists hiring lorries to transport the amount of rubbish which is appearing in the areas around Fethiye. Perhaps Tommy the Turtle could be promoted more to give everyone of whatever nationality a message about the effects of dumping rubbish. Another thing that is alarming is when plastic bottles are burned. The fumes are to toxic and can harm the health of people,especially babies. I have seen plastic bottles being burned on a fire in a restaurant in Fethiye and when I asked them not to do it the answer was that they are poor and need them as fuel.

The fact that I am a foreigner does not stop me from expressing an opinion. The Turks are starting to recognize there is a problem and there has to be starting place and I believe it is not with the tourist. I would say that the tourist is responsible for less than 1% of the Fethiye rubbish. Until the Turks are educated to keep Turkey tidy then the problem will never go away.

If I was currently living in the UK and foreigners gave advice that improved the country then I think we should listen and act on it.

Taking the point that point to the extreme if I lived in South Africa in the 60s I should just accept what was being done to the majority by the minority whites.

By the way just clear up something else for Scunner who is now presumes he knows my state of mind I have nothing but love for Turkey and I enjoy living here. Like anywhere it has its faults and these can be frustrating at the time. It is my intention to eventually take out Turkish citizenship. You exercised your choice and ran away I have exercised my choice to stay but not be a dummy.
