The Mont Cuet landfill in the north of Guernsey were most of the garbage generated in Guernsey ends up.
As this hill of garbage rises above the surrounding landscape plastic carrier bags will inevitably be picked up by the wind and blown around the neighbourhood.
Mont Cuet is next to the shore on the north coast of Guernsey. Plastic bags already end up strewn across nearby hills and entangled in nearby bushes. Even though the people who work there do their best to cover the rubbish with soil some of the lighter rubbish becomes airborne.
Photographed on the 5th June 2007.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
