  • Household refuse pollutes a coral beach on Meedu Island, an indigenous community in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Packaging, foodstuffs and general waste has been tossed away on this otherwise beautiful place, north of the capital Male. Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth.

  • In a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England, we see many black bin-bags are left against industrial brick walls awaiting collection during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991. The cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses are in a poor area, south of the city centre and home to deprived families. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs now exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Sarah Wanjiru, 10yrs with mother Jane Wajira , and Jane’s grandchild pose for pictures next a small tip where they have been picking rubbish to make some money. They recycle mainly plastic; on average they can make up to 150-200 Ksh a day ( $1-2). The dump here is smaller with less pickings but safer than the main dump in Eldoret. <br />
<br />
Jane had her first baby when she was as young as 12-13; she now has four children which she cares for her self . Her husband was killed in the Kenyan riots of 2007/8. Her 10-year-old daughter Sarah comes to help her sort rubbish when she’s not at school. Sarah was lucky enough to find a sponsor to pay her admission fees and cover her uniform and books – barriers that prohibit many of Kenya’s poorest children from attending the country’s free primary schools.

  • A team of English tea-tasters employed by the tea company Lyons sample different blends for the PG Tips brand in the City of London, England UK. With variously-sourced teas from tea estate plantations, they smell, touch, sip, slurp then spit the hot drink out into a spittoon rather than swallow it many times repeatedly. Britons drink 35 million cups of PG Tips a day and world tea production is approximately 3.2 million tonnes a year. Kenya is the largest producer with Sri Lanka a close second. PG Tips is imported as single estate teas from around the world and blended in precise proportions set by the tea tasters to make blend 777, which can contain between 12 and 35 single estate teas at any one time depending on season.

  • A typical steamy night gets under way in a downtown Beal street Bar in Memphis. Today There is still some great music to be found here  but, like its famous sister Nashville, one has to navigate some typical  US commercialism  in the search as  the town cashes in on its reputation. Most of the residents of this bar seem to be tourists but the music is outstanding and  and the tips jar is simply a  reflection of the harsh realties for many musicians in these crowded  music towns.

Lying with building rubbish and household waste, the data is scattered and visible.

  • Samuel Makomi 42 (Photographed on edge of dump). "I use to make bags but was fired from my job so I have worked here ever since , its been over 20 years now. “Its not a safe or nice place to work. You can get injuries here from bottles and infections from needles; I got malaria once and was ill for a month. There is fighting here as well when the boys get high or they are fighting over something valuable; and fatalities. A man was high and slipped and fell under the path of a lorry – another broke his leg. I would like to start my own business selling shoes or clothes but cannot afford to save. I make about 150 – 200 shillings a day ( £1-1.50).”

The family manages to earn just over a dollar a day from sorting rubbish at the dumpsite but that is not enough to buy food for the family.
