You think its a small problem? Imagine as many horses as cars in a dense urban environment, each one using those bags. Now how do you get all those bags out without garbage trucks? It isn't as easy a problem as our modern minds might imagine.
Of course, cars as the savior is also an oversimplified narrative, but it was a fun one.
- fredfoobar 6y agoHave you seen the amount of waste we humans generate? have you seen the landfills?
- jsight 6y agoSure, but the horse era was before efficient solutions to those problems as well. Cf, "night soil" and the processes used to (try) to keep it from stinking up the city.
