09. After Recession Top15 - Vital Resilience in Africa

What it Is:
We know Africa as the garbage dump of the Western world. Literally. Western companies pay African countries loads of money to import their garbage. Cars that are not allowed to ride the European roads anymore are massively shipped to Africa. What is not good enough for us, is good enough for them. Africans make the best of our stuff and try to recycle as much as possible. This recycling has reached a new peak with the assembly of a functioning four-seater helicopter. It was made from old car parts and parts from a crashed 747. It was built by a 24-year old undergraduate student who got his information solely from the internet, in just eight months time.
