Did you ever want to know what 2,400 tons of trash looks like? Well, wonder no more! A garbage strike in Italy has led to public protests, intense finger-pointing, and a whole heckuva lot of trash piling up in the streets of Naples.

So, what’s the problem? City trash wasn’t being collected because of public outrage over a proposed city dump. The trash piled up, and then protesters just started adding to it, dumping their refuse in the streets. Now the European Union is threatening to slap sanctions on Italy if it doesn’t clean up the mess.
