The Landfill Orchestra

I often receive inspirational emails from individuals who are passionate about sustainability. Last week I received one such email containing a link to a video about a small town in Paraguay where a music teacher and a carpenter used their imagination and the trash available in a nearby landfill to develop an orchestra. The instruments the kids use are made out of recycled trash, but you would never know it when listening to them. Please take a moment to watch (and listen to) the video below; if interested, a full documentary titled "Landfill Harmonic" is available on Amazon Prime.

Please share this with anyone you feel might need some inspiration. After watching the video, feel free to also share any thoughts you have concerning our "throw away" culture. And finally, think about one way in which you can reduce the trash you dispose of on a regular basis.
