Il format mostra il risultato di scelte politiche sbagliate in materia di rifiuti che hanno trasformato il territorio dell'area dei Calanchi Lucani, ricco di storia e di attività agro pastorali, in un polo della monnezza a cielo aperto. Un "tour della monnezza" che incrementa l'incenerimento e nuove discariche, con una raccolta differenziata da percentuali irrisorie e problemi di inquinamento e di dissesto idrogeologico del territorio irrisolti.

A Mozambican musician who campaigns for clean water and sanitation has been awarded a top environmental prize, described as the Nobel Prize of grassroots environmentalism. Modestly, Santos said the $150,000 (£75,000) prize money would not change his life but it would help focus attention on what was happening on the ground in Mozambique and Africa.
