LEBANON: TINY COUNTRY, BIG TRASH PROBLEM

Entered in Documentary Short

Objectives

It piles up in landfills, it’s dumped in the ocean, it's burned. Lebanon is drowning in trash and doesn't know what to do about it.

Waste-Ed created this short documentary to raise awareness and show a positive blueprint for change with the example of local waste management engineer Ziad Abi Chaker, who says: “It's not an evil material. You just need some kind of a paradigm shift regarding plastic. Let's recuperate it as much as we can, and let's do something useful with it.’’
