Styrofoam Hills of Tsukiji Fish Market.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market, otherwise known as Tsukiji Fish Market, is the world's largest fish market, moving 2000 tons of seafood per day. That comes to 700,000 metric tons per year, which has a value of 600 billion yen, or roughly $6 billion U.S. The empty styrofoam packaging seen here is a testament to the amount of seafood moved here per day.

Waste-deep in styrofoam.

More to come....
