Garbage Accumulation in Lisbon
On the first day of the urban hygiene workers' strike in Lisbon, the streets are overflowing with garbage, leading to an unusual sight: seagulls and pigeons flocking around the trash bins. This situation has sparked concern among residents and visitors alike.
The popular saying "Seagulls on land, storm at sea" doesn't hold true today. Instead, it reflects the harsh reality of the city as refuse builds up near the containers, attracting these birds.

As the strike continues, the impact on urban cleanliness and public health may become increasingly evident. Residents are left to navigate the challenges posed by the accumulating waste, raising questions about the city's response to the strike and the long-term implications for waste management in Lisbon.
