I am a recycling freak. Just ask my kids. I stumbled across this video of children in Paraguay who live on a landfill and have created an orchestra with musical instruments made out of discarded items. It's called the Landfill Harmonic. Local kids had been treated to a concert by a neighboring town. They wanted their own orchestra but lacked even one instrument. Local garbage picker Nicolás Gómez began experimenting with instruments he constructed from trash: Tin water pipes, buttons, bottle caps, and spoon and fork handles make up the body and keys of the saxophones. Oil or paint cans and recycled wood are used for the string section. It is inspiring. And please. think before you toss.
