Now this is an amazing story!!\u00a0 Favio Chavez, an ecological technician has discovered a brilliant use of the trash in a small impoverished community.\u00a0 The town is Cateura, Paraguay<\/a> and it is a village built on a landfill.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Many families in the community recycle trash and sell it to make a living.\u00a0 Favio once found a violin in the trash and decided that he could build many instruments out of recycled trash and teach the kids how to play.\u00a0 He has made cellos, flutes, and violins out of old wood, oil drums, and metal.<\/p>\n

“People realize we shouldn’t throw away trash carelessly\u2026well we shouldn’t throw away people either.” Favio states.<\/p>\n

Favio’s idea picked up and now the kids are learning the instruments\u2026and they sound amazing!!\u00a0 They are the stars in a new documentary titled:
Landfill Harmonic, “a film about people transforming trash into music; about love, courage and creativity.”<\/p>\n

Watch the trailer – it is incredibly heartwarming \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
