. when you see pictures of the beautiful swiss alps you probably would not associate them with whiskey but in fact they are home to the world's highest whiskey distillery more on that later on in the show. hi and welcome to another edition of euro max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up on the program. see how digital models are revolutionizing the world of fashion. and find out how a german artist makes 3 the motifs jump off the paper.

but we start off the show with a splash an icy cold water now it's no secret that cold water gives the body a boost but what about going for a cold swim in winter now i must admit i have never done this and i myself prefer warm bags but the benefits of a cold plunge are said to include a better immune system increase or chill ation and reduced stress well that all sounds great but it does take a great deal of motivation to actually do it so we met up with one man from the netherlands who is a record breaker when it comes to polar bear dips. i'm with they told me to. go. this dutchman is said to have supernatural powers thanks to the many world records he says he's 66 meters below the arctic ice skating track he's climbed mount

kilimanjaro less than 2 days wearing shorts and run a marathon through the libyan desert without a sip of water. and he can endure 2 hours in a contained. in a human body is so much more capable than what we think the cold is the great teacher. the seminar center in the village just where the 61 year old normally teaches authors how to master their bodies. here's one of those seminars but cove it has changed everything. when hoffmann comprises a cold bath meditation and a special breathing technique involving controlled inhaling and exhaling 30 times and then holding your breath. the at drill and begins to

work the body from the inside and then becomes true to deep breathing stronger and then use c.d.f. back directly because you feel it when you are in the cold water that you are able to stay there just because of breathing the cold is said to strengthen the immune system however taking a dip in an icelandic glacier would make most people's body temperature sink so low it could kill them but not jim hall and he wants to scientifically prove his method works in 2011 it was in checked it with bacteria on. a university study developed hardly any flu like symptoms unlike other test subjects. but even if there are strong indications it's yet to be proven that the whole strength the immune system. but. you're more study needs to be done but i tell you the bad efforts are huge and the investment is very little

just go into the culture i swimming isn't something threat it poses a long history in europe whether this championship in finland is a game of chess in russia. or i think we're swimming in a mini camp in the netherlands in germany this is the 3rd winter that graphic designer apparently not scoring runs is indulging in this icy hopping air temperature at lake blitzen same ground then it's 2 degrees celsius she prepares using vim hoff's breathing technique. it still takes some real motivation and come on you can practice transcending your rational understanding where the 1st time he knows and it gives you more self-confidence this saves the tone given if i can handle this if i'm up to the challenge that i can do it to.

the 27 year old stays in the icy lake for about 10 minutes and how does she feel afterwards. i'm really happy you can maybe see it so i'm totally awake and just euphoric if. i can't describe it really alive. and my mind is blank i'm just in the here and now. this is them with his son the junkets of 6 children. and hearing them hoffa's jumping off his backyard ledge with his niece. the water is of course i see. reason for sought out the healing power of the cold was a stroke of fate his 1st wife with schizophrenia and shook her own life in 1905 being in agony of myself my own exile u.-t. my heart broke my mood which completely down and shut but i had to be there for

my children so i got a man up this when i went into the ice and i did my breathing exercises it deeply on until i felt. myself. that what else can do the same for others me now as nearly a 1000000 followers on you tube pianists children teach his methods all over the world thousands of people visit this online and classroom forces on learn to become qualified trainers themselves. to many people. is a sort of 2 groups but some criticize his personality cult let them call me iceman guru i suppose or whatever it's all ok and so on to me they don't call me no longer crazy. or an idiot or. whatever.

they it's all positive i love it i love it. nice to have you here embrace the cold makes you really strong. now thank you. that's definitely not for me and i can be sure that the model that you see here has also she's never taken a bath in her life well that's because she is a computer generated avatar who is breaking into the fashion world now you can put these models in just about any situation and unlike real people these avatars will never complain well digital models have been gaining in popularity in recent years and now because of the coronavirus pandemic they're even more in demand. they look. for several jobs at

a time but they are. digital models like graham from the u.k. or newry from germany have been turning the fashion and influencer scene upside down since their day. out and the loss abilities are endless or traitor underwater have a dance on a volcano on another planet and that's the fascinating thing about it. munich based graphic designer created the manga style avatar noori who made her 1st public appearance in 2008 teams. to him nori is more than a digital model she is a 21 year old living in paris and has her own biography. she goes shopping. meets friends. and promotes ecological causes. york suber has his finger on the pulse and has helped an enduring become the most

successful virtual character and your of on instagram large fashion houses like for sutton. for tommy hilfiger her for ad campaign. international top models like naomi campbell or heidi clooney appear alongside nora and her non-human appearance. is intentional. i also think this kind of collaboration using a digital character is something completely different making for a totally different experience than in the traditional sector. thanks to that in southern england fashion photographer and 3 d. artist cameron james wilson also uses as brand ambassadors. his agency only works with avatars and his 1st creation to do grand is a hyper realistic figure that attracted attention worldwide in 2017 when i 1st heard you online i posted it to facebook and i had no idea what was going to happen

and everyone was asking me like who was shooting who was shooting. and it just it just grew and grew from there you know a lot so lots of people. lots of famous accounts was sharing image. may not have a fictional biography but she enjoys enormous success online. for instance she appears together with other digital models in a social media campaign for the french luxury label. one of the great benefits of working with malls as you can send them anywhere in the wallet and i think that is probably one of the best advantages right now although 3 d. is still quite expensive because doing a photo shoot for a fashion spread with to do tremendous amount of. real models stand in front of the camera and simulate. the human models are digitally replaced by shooting.

to take a virtual walk down the runway. it's incredibly difficult to animate shoot because she's so realistic we did do a show. for my own use when we. produced a minute long presentation in collaboration with. the case where. but a lot of the fashion i think that they're not really ready for the kind of level of 3 d. that you know. i want to do the covert pandemic has increased the demand for alternatives in the fashion world and for the 2020 helsinki fashion week all designers presented their works using animated models on line even though they may not appear quite as perfect and hyper realistic as shooting. but will digital avatars become serious competition for real models and influencers . fashion editor maria who doesn't think so.

this is definitely an artform in its own right and that's how i see it i do think this is a lasting development. if they're going to but i think that once this year is over people will look forward to going places talking to others and seeing clothes on real people and mentions will be and. whether as an art form an alternative to real models or a clever influencer strategy digital models are here to stay they seem increasingly perfect and even talk to their fans. together. and. when it comes to whisky you could arguably say that the best brands come from scotland ireland or even the united states well you wouldn't necessarily associate

switzerland with the spirit but the distillery located high up in the swiss alps has put itself on the map with the world record we went there for a closer look. this is the pits garage in southeastern switzerland its mountain station attracts winter sports enthusiasts. and now. whiskey lovers here at an altitude of over 3000 meters swiss entrepreneur. and pascal mcnair have opened the world's highest distillery. need. the idea of opening up at this elevation a 3300 meters came about because we have a storage center for our barrels from the start so it's a privilege to be able to operate at the still resists high up in the surrounded with these mounds of this as a backdrop but that i'd like to do. for a decade the 2 friends have been distilling whisky they call their single malt the

rental romantic word for sold in october 2020 they opened their distillery on the pitch a quarter at an elevation of 3303 meters higher than any other whiskey makers and advantages that the boiling point lies at about 10 degrees lower than at sea level . and so forth i like to be one of the advantages is that we have a slower distillation at a lower temperatures. this gives the whiskey many more floral notes. even if people don't automatically associate switzerland with whiskey the country holds a surprising number of whisky related records down in the valley the resort town of some more it's home to the world's largest whiskey bar it already has 2 entries in the guinness book of world records here gas can choose from over 2500 different varieties of whisky. the mountain village of santa maria around 50 kilometers east

of san moritz is home to another guinness record holder the smallest whiskey bar on earth on just $8.00 square metres of space serves up some 300 high. of whiskey with so many world records it's switzerland a whiskey nation after all. i don't think switzerland has a whisky nation like all the other countries aren't either the ones who come closest or scotland and ireland which are well on the way to changing facts a little more encroaching on. more and more under better distilleries so i think in the next decade things will change a lot. isn't just a barkeeper he also manages the whisky museum and makes the spirit professionally in the cellar located at an elevation of 1400 meters the boiling point of alcohol is also lower here than at sea level those omar is skeptical whether distilling whiskey high up on

a mountain will really influence its taste. my destiny or for longer and alcohol's the stilt the better it is me. doesn't matter if you have another or lower distillation point leads their own definitely the difference lies in the photo that you're just over the vaporization point when the still of the little cut to the. back to the world's highest distillery here the spirit made from malta barley has to age and barrels for at least 3 years to rightly be called whiskey. broke down via belief that either the influence of this and the vision of your parents in $510.00 or 20 years is only don't know what is around vision it's not to create a whisky that's as close as possible to a scottish one so in the should clearly tastes like a swiss made product which make bodies no matter what the whisky ends up tasting like that now though villi and passed on that now couldn't have found

a more stunning location to make or drink it. well if you're interested to find out more about food and drink around europe then you can visit our you tube channel d.w. food. in our next report we are about to meet a master of deception german artist stuff on pops has perfected the technique of 3 d. in his art work this portrait artist found 3 d. as a way to steer away from conventional drawing and painting he let us look over his shoulder as he worked and some of his subjects will have you squirming in your seat . watch out for a dangerous scorpion. but look closer and you'll see it's only an art work created by. the artists from northwestern germany is a master of 3 d. optical illusion and. here singer seems to be climbing from a no. and this looks like an actual miniature version of the eiffel tower.

i was bored with painting the same things over and over that good artists had done thousands of times already i wanted to do something new something nobody has seen with. stephon eerily realistic looking scorpion took 4 hours to create he chose the motif because most people keep well away from such creatures. my most successful paintings on there are those with a spider sitting on a sheet of paper for example people are scared of them. stefan pap's artworks are a hit and he regularly publishes them on. this video of stefan creating a 3 d. tarantula garnered over 12000000 views and. his daughter's reaction might also explain some of the success. of.

stefan's main job is painting commissions portraits based on photographs sometimes 2 dimensional but also in 3 d. . this darth vader portrait was bought by an american star wars fan. you know this scary looking snake really looks as if it could crawl through the room. elaine. this glass of water is also a you tube sensation. creating these amazing artworks requires a good eye and special. after all optical illusions only work when you look at them from a certain angle. the main effect with these lego bricks is that i stretched it.

so that when you put the painting down it looks as if the proportions are correct. getting the details exactly right is important that means adding the scorpion's shadow and tiny hairs on its sting. finally stefan cuts off a bit of paper perfecting the optical illusions. that's really important for the 3 d. a factor it must look as if the object extends over the edge of the sheet of paper one of fools us into thinking the object isn't actually painted on the paper. and here's a 3 dimensional scorpion. one side at a 45 degree angle change your perspective and the fact instantly vanish. ambitious plans for creating vast outdoor artworks. like creating a 3 d.

pattern in a cornfield and then filming it from above with a drone to capture this effect. so. his motif just. whatever it is it will probably look amazingly realistic. another artist who likes to flirt with deception is polish a photographer monica must of it she use this life like dolls as her subject and puts them in situations to evoke a range of emotions now her photos have been eerie and sad quality about them we visited her at home in cracow for a closer look. these dolls are not toys they're so realistic it's almost. it's especially when the polish artist monika most of it sets them up for a photo shoot. you could almost expect

them to come alive. i'm be to collect her photograph and those photographs. so be changing those are my passion actually i spend already like and more than 10 years of my life photographing. jointed dolls come from asia they can be arranged in all kinds of poses thanks to their ball and socket joints monica owns over $25.00 of them she gets a russian artist to paint their faces and body parts courting to her exact requests a new character is created for each photo. so you can exchange the eyes so. she can look you know. in front so you can change the color of forests size so far eastern songs so again need to appear like

a different face and that different than different characters. the dolls are often dressed in tailor made clothes this dress for example was so unlike in our history . of different sizes of dogs so sometimes it's so you know hard to find the right trends because sometimes the dress is to be too small the dolls leather boots are color coordinated with the dress monaco wears gloves so as not to smudge its delicate makeup. she wants her photographs of the dolls to stay. emulate the viewers fantasy. as you know are so inspiring for me because faye are no smiling actually they are pretty serious even sad over cry. soon

possibly too tired to a more serious story snow of all toys thought. people have gone to humans the motions. she showcases her artworks on instagram and that exhibition like here in her hometown of krakow monica often stages her photo shoots at derelict or abandoned sites. among the dolls of folk an uneasy feeling in me i am not having on you but i wouldn't call it fear exactly otherwise i would not be here out of the budget and i took up shows what i find most interesting is that they look like real human beings and you can sense the artist wanted to create this optical illusion googling out. many of the photographs featured groups of dolls resembling families or siblings.

monica most of explosives combine a fairy tale look with some dark horror and lots of atmosphere. and they certainly fascinating. ok of leds and the show on a lighter note don't forget to enter our latest drop for that just go to our website for all the details on how to receive this d w backpack and some other goodies as always for me the rest of the crew here thanks for tuning in policy against.

clean drinking water for everyone. costa rica has made protecting its springs a top priority. the secret to their success. and efficient waste management program the fires everybody to do their part. and it's paying off. 3000.

d.w. . the 1st time in an airplane and the very 1st time on an escalator. after 20 years in an african refugees. begins with a one way ticket to america. a film about an extraordinary congolese family and about the pitfalls of the american way of life. in 45 minutes w. . you know that 77 percent blockage are younger than the body. that's me and me. and you know what time of voices i

watch. this 77 percent talk about the issues stuff. from politics to flash from housing boom boom town this is where it up. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend do you w. . welcome to the label 3000 years. costa rica is blessed with water in abundance and with people who are determined to conserve this precious commodity. eco tourism in mexico will conservation work be the main focus of all holidays in

future. may your car is normally heaving with tourists but the pandemic has changed all of that and that's been disastrous for many locals. of course some years it was a bit too much for your coast spain's biggest island beautiful but utterly overcrowded the streets jammed the bars overflowing party go is everywhere. for local people the mainly german and british tourists were simply too many too loud too inconsiderate. in 2913700000 foreign visitors descended. eric highlands. then the coronavirus hit and the brakes were slammed on tourists travel everywhere in 2020 just 1700000 people came here a drop of 87 percent yes most local people depend on tourism to survive in

just 12 months unemployment rose by 37 percent. things are now gradually starting up again but it's not clear when normality might return and that's leaving many local people deeply concerned. palmas sunny winds his normally attract plenty of tourists but right now there's just a handful of people on the beach. the pandemic has turned life on the island upside down. many locals are despairing and the some the mood is rubbing off on the few visitors that are here. it's like a ghost town at least here in town the day my orca so missed your call you know. the big hotels are nearly empty tourism has come to a standstill. people are angry and there are

demonstrations on the streets. unemployment is at a record high many are on the brink of ruin and say the government has abandoned them. it was an american we need something to eat we have to pay our bills but no $1.00 is helping us we're fed up tired of being humiliated and lied to me. i see things like this have become commonplace in palma lines of people waiting patiently at a food bank like this one run by the toddler aid organization. before the coronavirus crisis tardo distributed about 200 meals a day now it's about 2000 the government subsidy for people who've had their allis cut or lost their jobs is really enough to keep people in flight. it is going to say to and help out there also here she lost her job working in a hotel. that's not how we got there i'm not ashamed to be here so many of us have

to stand in lines like this i just find it sad to have to ask for food he but i mean really grease the pain of the need every camille one of them to tell you about runs the tardo aid organization it's financed solely by private donations he says that the crisis threatens to stretch the social fabric on the island to breaking point. and they've been hampered from we used to mainly serve people who'd been living on the edge of society for a long time and now we're seeing families with children who've been out of work since last summer. i was there with. the aid organization also runs shelters one of them is just a few blocks away which has beds for up to 80 people. more and more locals find themselves trapped in a downward spiral 1st they lose their jobs and then their homes new york a has

a population of 1000000. a 3rd are now living in poverty. but daniel chavez is originally from argentina he's now sharing a single room with his wife and 3 children before the crisis they had an apartment and he and his wife worked in a hotel. we both had jobs a mood doing really well. but suddenly the virus came and things began to go downhill in because. the people of new york have been hit hard. by. activists one man who wears a good is heading in demonstration in front of an apartment building they want to prevent an eviction the landlord is trying to force mohammed and the hoofy who's from morocco to move out because he's behind on the rent. despite the

pandemic they are about 10 evictions in palma every week the demonstrations only manage to hold and handful of evictions and usually it's just a temporary reprieve. and if the momentum of that we're seeing more and more vixens in rental apartments families who are squatting in apartments out of sheer desperation also being thrown out. mohamed el hoofy is lucky the demonstration was large enough to attract attention the eviction has been halted at least for now. the anger is growing here locals say state aid has been too little too late many are demanding that the regional government step down. it's normal to me it's no surprise that people are protesting because we understand that but at the same time our main priority is to improve the health situation we need to relieve the pressure on our

. hospitals people's lives are at stake as i said about to be that as the crisis deepens many people on the island are showing solidarity restaurant owners are donating meals for people in need. josé maría on a burger is also helping even though his restaurant is also on the brink. so far he's only received 1500 here are some subsidies just a drop in the bucket compared to what he needs. but i don't want to help the people who are even worse off than we are this is going to be our worst year ever who knows if the government is all talk or if they're finally going to take action the situation here is really terrible mr markey. told them when the mark the one. that midday the meals already hot chocolate a tortilla and a sandwich the mood is deed people here know that another tough year lies ahead for

me your career right now there's no telling when the tourists will return. and when will we see such images again will we ever in fact there are increasing demands for travel to be rethought for an end to mass tourism and a shift towards more climate and environmentally sound holidaying eco tourism for example involves being up close to nature and also directly benefiting it but how does it work it's certainly a growing sector in $29000.00 its market size was valued at $180000000000.00 u.s. dollars we headed to mexico's baja california coast an area rich in sea life to find out more. mexico's baja california is wild and beautiful

the pacific here is full of creatures hunting in. being hunted marlin like to eat sardines but overfishing as depleted marlin populations. conservationists are worried and are keen to protect them. marlin may be native here but they're hard to find nowadays. at 5 in the morning ben is wide awake and raring to go he's from the united states and has come here to magdalena bay to see wildlife. it's absolutely excitement so it's i wake up alarm bells off it's like let's get up let's carry it let's go really excited to suit the day is going to bring. for the people living here fishing has been the major source of income. ben is joining a scientific expedition led by marine biologist valentino caulk around. you. 'd

had 1st things are very quiet. and then some birds show up looking like they've spotted something. they find several sea lions hunting for breakfast. they're on their. crazy looking. dolphins are curious as to what's going on and accompany the boat. there have to be some marlins out there somewhere they should be hunting right now but this season they haven't been seen very much. but when tina cochran works with the next cali project a nonprofit that backs research into marine life and promotes eco tourism as an

alternative source of income to fishing for local communities. she wants to see if there are any traces of mormon eggs. if they spawn here that means this area is of great importance it would be an important argument in favor of declaring it a conservation zone. is helping the know how a project promotes citizen science that's when members of the public help conduct research little waves well and tina retrieves a sample of water thick with jelly like plankton. i'm going to put it on one still take some sample drink this research is financed with the money citizen scientists pay to take part in such expeditions about 2000 euros each that's about twice the price of a regular tourist expedition. i think it's really cool to be a major and to be actually contributing to this beautiful bay that there's

conservation efforts and help and understand the population the fish populations and we need to protect that better than just going on a vacation. back on land a study where samples under the microscope the ocean is packed with trying the creatures. overfishing means that the striped marlin could soon be declared an endangered species. still no more than. there must be we have to start protecting them right now so they don't go the way of tuna or sharks. the next morning a party of tourists sets off on a catch and release fishing competition this kind of tourism is gaining ground in baja california it's considered less destructive than commercial regular recreational fishing. but catch and release can still be fatal

as we later see for ourselves. molesey 0 as skipper on ben's boat he's lived from fishing for most of his life but no longer he says commercial trawlers catch way too many marlin as bycatch. game plays that over time you can drive a species to extinction that way if no restrictions are enforced it's very tempting to catch more than your permitted to. meet you. he says the ocean may be teeming with life but we should only take what we absolutely need he's now a fan of eco tourism and says it provides him with a good living and helps conserve local biodiversity. the expeditions soon chances upon more action in the ocean. seals and dolphins are busy hunting. then

some whales show up as animals so much larger than you but at the same time it's allowing that space and so it's that beauty and actually you know watch them in their natural habitat. and the marlin makes a brief appearance. on . the boats but the tourists are heading back to harbor they caught a fish a marley they had spent an hour hunting it then it died by mistake they say. it swallowed the hook and hurt itself we were going to catch and release it but then we couldn't get nothing. but when tina asks for its entrails so its death wasn't entirely in vain they could help her research she hopes to present her 1st findings in 2 years' time and we've got them because we have to protect them on. you know that that 1 may have some value but a living one has so much more and more. ben

says he's grateful for the project he can play in researching the marlin and the efforts to protect the species. yes. ghana is one of africa's popular tourist destinations and that's where this week's global snack comes from. with 2000000 inhabitants ghana's capital accra on the west african atlantic coast is the biggest city in the country. is he george says he has a snack bar on mile 7 where she's been selling grilled corn on the cob since 2009. corn is to live it that she picked out any at the markets. like that if i'm good

at this point if the corn is brought fresh from the farm it's really tasty and it smells great too but after a day the nice taste and smell are gone. i didn't. know which means she needs to go to work quickly she starts to grow using a piece of coconut tusk as a nice. depending on what the customer wants the grilled corn can be served dipped insult horsa and with a piece of coconut to. get a new. well this is salt and coconut this is how we eat the grilled corn yeah there are some people who like it with salt and others who don't want any salt at all but together with coconut is the best. thing you

wrote that on the one of my favorite. i take it during that time and i get attracted to a new way in time that he is high i want to buy because it tastes good if. the price depends on signs and extras. but most customers pay around $1.00 canadian city per piece which is about 14 euro cents. is the joyce's corner of the pulp is in high demand neighbors local workers and business people come to enjoy a quick healthy snack. if both sides by which aid in my path so we can give them a new chance of bad like it. and what is the secret to his tasty treats the boss tells us herself. growl or arm just like our ancestors did that. without using chemicals.

they till the soil and grew produce natural light so it always tasted delicious and french you know in the. fridge. and now we're off to central america rain clown's a common features in the skies above costa rica the country's rainy season last 7 months from made to december so water is in plentiful supply and in the land near the capital san jose people are working hard to ensure that doesn't change. all reports or catch you doing a head there and found out what the area's waste disposal service. to do with water . this is the. the eye of water 350 liters of fresh cool water bubbled up out of the spring every 2nd. it's at the

heart of a large water park much loved by locals. it's in a suburb of costa rica's capital san jose a 1000000 people live in and around the city. and water pours forth from springs across the area. one hand this was a map and then words our one people used to having a lot of water so they use it for things that aren't really necessary and there was a bit on the challenge we face is to teach them that we actually need to protect and conserve water. and we should only use it when we really have to. do is say human as espinosa works with a bell and municipality on its water conservation program. as part of that but city seeks to buy up land in private ownership where there are springs in order to create conservation areas this plot is the 1st the city has bought.

the official list comprises 30 springs in belen but there are probably many more. yeah when this. song i was sometimes people just don't tell us if they have a spring on my property. or they say yes there's a little water in my garden but not much. and when we go and investigate it turns out it's a real spring and we need to secure the land. real estate in bel-air is expensive so this purchasing project is too it's being financed by means of a levy on water that residents have to pay. costa rica is very serious about water access to drinking water has recently been written into the constitution as a basic right and that covers the conservation of springs. 95 percent of the population do have access to clean drinking water still the government is keen to

do even better well it is also upgrading its waste management so that trash doesn't contaminate the soil groundwater or springs. at this facility workers are looking for materials that can be recycled. this is also part of the program to protect water resources and the environment. in. this project is about ensuring that stuff doesn't end up here at the dump but gets recycled. and that we don't use more and more water to manufacture more and more goods. and hopes of products can't be recycled then we should start using more resources to make them. because they will say it is that. there's also a social aspect to the recycling project but people who saw the trash of each faced major problems in their lives here they have the opportunity to make

a living they work on their own account selling whatever they find to recycling companies. there are 7 of us at the moment living from this project. but with the money we make we 1st cover all costs and then divide up what's left among ourselves. see. some other store go ahead just split up with her partner when she started working here several years ago. suddenly the homemaker was a single mother with 2 boys to feed sorting trash was meant to be just a stopgap. is that right. i develop skills i never knew i had. i like to manage the projects and assume responsibility for others i've really come to love the project. bell and residents are expected to sort that trash into various categories but many don't trash collection here is on

thursdays. but the workers from the sanitation department won't take stuff deposited on the roadside unless it's properly sorted. another project only implemented on a few streets so far as inspectors review trash waiting for collection by the roadside. is one of them. sacks may only contain things that can be recycled. but over here we have a problem. this is just garbage it can't be recycled. i'll take a photo and i'll send it to the municipality. morning. such photos help the sanitation department identify the most common mistakes residents make. the biggest problem has proved to be organic waste so 300 households have
