See article below : Staggering that there is fear in greenland about low levels of uranium yet many parts of the country are living in their own sh*t. Disgrace to the environment and the people of Greenland. This is 3rd world stuff and from the news article its clear they dont have the finance to fund basic sewage systems. Yet at the same time the govt scaremonger an opportunity to change the future of so many. Truly shocking and depressing.


Avannaata Kommunia in shit to the throatAvannaata Kommunia holds a dull record in the number of dry closets in buildings. The Committee for Technology recognizes that the municipality faces major challenges in both cities and settlementsEmpty toiletry bags pollute both in nature and in the sea in Avannaata Kommunia.Arne MølgaardTHE EDITORIAL STAFFSunday, August 29, 2021 - 2:30 p.m.According to the self-government statement from 2019, there are 5,240 registered dry closets in the five municipalities in Greenland, of which more than half of 2,456 dry closets are registered in Avannaata Kommunia.It writes the newspaper Sermitsiaq.Facts:Number of dry toilets in the municipalities:Avannaata Kommunia 2.456Kommune Qeqertalik 1,138Qeqqata Kommunia 710Kammuneqarfik Sermersooq 501Municipality of Kujalleq 435A total of 5,240Thus, the vast majority of residential houses, apartments, public buildings as well as commercial buildings in Uummannaq, Upernavik and Qaanaaq and in the associated settlements are not connected to a public sewer and water pipe. Therefore, outdated dry closets with bags are still used.All buildings that are part of the night renovation scheme have their toilets emptied, which are often discharged directly into various waste areas or into the sea, and the many emptied toilet plastic bags often end up in nature and in the sea. And in many cases, the use and emptying of dry toilets causes unhygienic conditions or sanitary problems, not only for the garbage workers, but also for the citizens.Although Avannaata Kommunia is examining the possibilities for future remediation of the situation, the Technical Committee acknowledges that the municipality is facing major challenges due to limited financial resources.
