ICHIHARA, Chiba Pref. -- People here see some dramatic shifts in their city's landscape. Like a time-lapse film, valleys are buried, and small mountains are razed only to have new knolls swell up in their place.
But this is no welcome natural geological wonder. If anything it is a miracle wrought by the capricious consumption patterns of modern day Tokyo and morally bankrupt waste disposal companies.
These geological changes are due to garbage.
