THE LANDFILL HARMONIC ORCHESTRA


The world generates about a billion tons of garbage a year. Those who live with it and from it are the poor – like the people of Cateura, Paraguay. And here they are transforming it into beauty. Landfill Harmonic follows the orchestra as it takes its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world. Follow the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum that out of necessity started creating instruments entirely out of garbage. Landfill Harmonic is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music, which also highlights two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution.

WHAT DAISY DID



These satchels are made from factory off-cut and rejected leather that may have otherwise been wasted. Therefore each bag is unique in finish and colour. The satchels reduce the impact on the environment, reduce waste and help create work in the developing world. 

What Daisy Did is a jumbled array of all the weird and wonderful things. Having a social conscience, they try to source their products from community based charities and take the time to get to know their producers and their families.
