If you haven't been watching Michael Palin's Brazil try to make the time to have a nose - partcularly if you are studying or intend to study GCSE Geography. There was an interesting item in this week's programme on the recyling of plastics in Brazil - the turnover of one of its largest recycling companies was £400, million. (Yes, that was million.)
Will we be mining our landfill sites for thrown away plastics in years to come I wonder?
