"This is one the most heart-warming and inspiring videos we’ve seen this year. Or last year.
"It is the Landfill Harmonic Orchestra - a group of very talented kids from a slum in Paraguay, playing instruments made from rubbish dug from the landfill that they live on.
"You have to watch to see just how incredible these musical instruments and musical teenagers are. But prepare to be amazed at how beautiful the music sounds.

"Martin Hunt, Colchester Borough Council's waste boss, has applied for new powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
The legislation allows him to order dust carts not to pick up rubbish from serial offenders' homes. He said:
"People are being put off recycling because they can see other people getting away with not doing it.
People are saying: 'why should I bother with recycling when my neighbour is putting 12 black sacks out?'
They feel they are paying for someone else not doing what they could be doing, but by me having these powers, it could put a stop to that."
