6:45 am
a much. wider price is down to the measure of the buzz in the country and. too much plastic and too many people like mata who collect empty bottles just to scrape by. to bear witness to the most unsustainable side of this savage recycling economy we head to the largest ship in the land dar es salaam the economic capital of the country. every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same frenzy.
6:46 am
not a fool gonna do some ice was a white guy he's going to. lose up to your ears and i pinned. him down you can as the brain does its job but with gordon i was a tough. you know. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waist. but tell me what you got an actual. we did to one of us and when i didn't get on and. by asking my name is. zero to us here. at h. the model moon has already spent two years rifling through waste in such a plastic that's more than enough to know that there is only one move to the
