        it took a while though... they managed to poison one or tvo communities already.

        really, this is a failure of government. they should have verified that the service provider lived up to their claims.

          She won an award for her entrepreneurship in 2018 from a well established economics newspaper. Says a lot about capitalism

                A Swedish entrepreneur who once called herself the “queen of trash” has been sentenced to six years in prison for illegally dumping hundreds of thousands of tonnes of toxic waste in the country’s biggest environmental crime case.

                Think Pink was hired to dispose of unwanted waste – largely building materials – by municipalities, building companies, apartment cooperatives and individuals. But the company did not deal with it appropriately, instead abandoning the unsorted waste illegally in piles at 19 locations across Sweden.

                High levels of toxic PCB compounds, lead, mercury, arsenic and chemicals were released into the air, soil and water, posing a danger to human, animal and plant life.

                        This

                        This is how you deal with companies lying and cheating. You jail the owners or C suite.

                        Monetary penalties won't change anything, won't stop anybody, jailing those involved will.
