After the crash 2001 more Porteños than before were reduced to poverty. To survive many started collecting paper in the more affluent parts of the city. Now they are organized in cooperatives, coming into the city at night, collecting all sort of reusable rubbish.

If it weren't for recycling, a lot more people would be hungry in the world. Good for the earth, good for people! Nice, meaningful photo.

Many thanks, Diane! Even in "rich" Germany many people are driven by necessity to collect bottles and the like.
