Quandary Resolution 584
vicissitude, meidan, cosmeticize, onus
The onus of regreening the meidan at the edge of town falls on the local factories that used it as a dumping ground, but they have merely cosmeticized their trash with tarps, blaming budgetary vicissitudes for their failure to haul it away.
