Broken little toe aside (stupid laptop on the floor)....so far today I saw the doc "Garbage Dreams". www.garbagedreams.com
The documentary was about the Zaballeen - Egypt's garbage people. It is amazing how much trash you see everywhere in the streets of Egypt. And the Zaballeen recycle more than any other country. Two of them went to Wales to see how they recycle and were surprised at the small bits of plastic and glass that end up in the landfill that they would recycle. One of the Zaballeen Adham was at the screening. He would like to start his own can recycling company but of course needs the money to do so as large trash companies from other countries have come in and taken over the trash business and created huge landfills.
Sat next to an interesting woman....Sharon Drew Morgen. Here is her website: http://sharondrewmorgen.com/index.htm
She highly recommends the doc "Trimpin". Last showing is on Friday so I hope to catch it.
