Dumped

Their only provisions are running water and a supply of food to represent the food thrown away in the UK every year. But without a fridge, they have to work out what to eat quickly and what will last through to their later days in the dump. Once they’ve come to terms with their new home, they undertake a number of challenges to demonstrate just how resourceful they can be – and learn the value of other people’s leftovers. And they’ll need to contend with all that comes with life among the rubbish – heat, dust, stench and plagues of flies. This program focuses on some very green issues – waste, recycling, the environment – in a fun and entertaining way. But there is a serious message. Could we learn to be a little less wasteful?
