Stop

Greenpeace activists display a giant STOP sign over a toxic waste depository in Almasfuzito, northwestern Hungary September 29, 2011, protesting the accumulation of toxic waste that they claim is not regulated properly. The depository is a former sludge reservoir of a now-defunct alumina plant, similar to the one that wreaked massive havoc near Ajka, Hungary on October 4, 2010. Greenpeace acknowledged that the pictured waste depository in Almasfuzito is highly unlikely to cause environmental damage on the scale of the Ajka disaster, although it contaminates ground waters and toxic waste also reaches the Danube in small quantities.
