Cartoneros (Clip 2)

Ernesto Livon-Grosman / Ernesto Livon-Grosman / Angelica Allende Brisk / 2006
Length: 4 min 20 sec

In Buenos Aires, canvassers from the El Ceibo recycling cooperative go door to door, asking their neighbours to separate their garbage and donate their recyclables to the cooperative. Sometimes they meet with apathy and resistance, but there are people who recognize the value of the work they do, for the environment and for the economy.
