Üretim fazlası,
satıştan artan yüzbinlerce araba atık halinde geniş alanlarda
bekletiliyor.
Bunlar dönüştürülecek, yeniden kazanılacak.
Ama, tüketim ekonomisinin, kapitalizmin mükemmeliyetini
zedeleyen manzaralardır bunlar.
Her şeyden çok dünyayı, doğal kaynakları tüketen bir düzen.

Thousands Of Unsold New Cars Are Being Abandoned.
This is what the car manufacturers DON'T want you to see. Since
overproduction peaked in 2009, thousands of cars have been left
in lots to waste away. Many of these photos go back to just
post-recession, yet the problem of surplus still exists today!
Shiny, pretty, and new...and rapidly rusting, unused.
This photograph is a lot of surplus cars in Port of
Sheerness in Kent, England. There are hundreds of places exactly
like this in the world full of cars that automobile
manufacturers were unable to sell.
That's right. You're looking at just one of the world's many
unsold car stockpiles.
People are not buying new cars at the rate they were
pre-recession. How many families do you know who boast a new car
every year? Thus, millions of brand-new are left to die in
parking lots.
Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
Just off of Broening Highway in Baltimore, over 57,000 cars
sit in a massive parking lot. At first I wondered why they
weren't simply put on sale, but the car industry won't reduce
their prices drastically for one simple reason: You can't sell a
car for $500 and expect someone to purchase a new one for
$15,000.
Cars must be moved out of dealership lots to make room for
new automobile production. What's left is kind of sad...rows
upon rows of perfectly good cars. Dormant.
The car industry can't simply stop making new cars. That
would mean closing factories and lay off tens of thousands of
employees, further adding to the recession. Also, the domino
effect would be catastrophic to the steel industry.
The plague isn't specific only to the United States automobile
industry...it's a problem around the world.
Pictured above, tens of thousands of cars sunbathe all day
in Spain.
When supply exceeds demand, you're left with a surplus.
Post-recession, families aren't running out and purchasing a new
car each year.
St. Petersburg, Russia
Imported European cars fail to sell and wind up left to rust
in an airport.
The cycle of buying, using, buying using has been broken.
People are likely to USE for much longer once they buy.
Open lots everywhere have been converted into makeshift
graveyards for cars that just won't sell.
Avonmouth, UK
Every gray space you see is filled with unused cars.
Corby, UK
Here's another lot of surplus cars. It begs the question:
why aren't these being recycled or at least given to people in
need?
Italy's Port of Civitavecchia
You would think car manufacturers would be able to SOMEHOW
use at least some of the parts. Are they holding onto hope that
the cars will sell?
Port of Valencia, Spain
These pictures are particularly frustrating if you've been
driving an old clunker around!
Cars, when subjected to the elements, don't last long. Many
pictured have been standing for a year or more.
When a car is left standing idle, all the oil sinks to the
bottom of the sump, and then corrosion begins to set in on all
the internal engine parts where the oil has drained away.
Overproduction isn't merely a flaw of the system in the
United States or at one car factory, it's a worldwide problem.
If we don't figure out a way to repurpose cars or price them
according to new economic standards, yards of abandoned cars
will continue to fill.
