These poverty stricken Johannesburg men comb through people's trash collecting discarded plastic bottles. They walk about 50 KM's ( 30 miles ) per day , when full ,they haul the heavy load to a recycling depot where the plastic is weighed and cash paid. For a load of plastic as seen in the video , they will each recieve about R60 thats $8 !!!! and walk about 50 Km's ( 30 miles ) to achieve this. When I commended them on their contribution to saving the enviroment , they were puzzled . All they knew was that this got them 6 loaves of bread and that was better than nothing . I humbly salute them !
