Legendary artists lke Jimi Hendrix, Jans Joplin, Santana, and The Who were just a few of the 32 acts that appeared on stage that weekend. Others were prevented from performing, including John Lennon, who was refused an entry visa to the US, ‘and Bob Dylen, who was in hospital with one of his chi B ISLE OF WIGHT, 1970 ‘Although Glastonbury is generally ecognized as the biggest music {estvalin the UK (the Glastonbury Festival in 2013 aracted 135,000, visitors this event was even biggar. The Isle of Wight Festival started in 1968, and it takes place annually on an island off the south coast ‘of England, Around 10,000 people attended the frst festival, which ‘was quite maclast compared to tho crow of 600,000 that tuned up ‘wo years later.

The producers gave each group $500 to buy everything the whole house would need for the next week, At the superna the differ thi generations soon became apparent While the seniors were discussing which cleaning products to ba s were busy filling their crlley juni with junk food, OF course, both oups ‘were horrified when they saw what the other had bought.

Now wee feangiotakealook at rcceling wound ines So Ab where shal we Abby Ler's start with one ofthe ‘countries that produces the most waste inthe workl: Australia, According tothe OECD Factbook, that's the Organisation for Economic Co. ‘operation and Development, every Australian creates about 600 kg of waste teach year, which is nearly as much as the USA. The good news is thar recycling {nn Australia has grown in popularity in recent years and now abouta third ‘of the wasteis recycled. Now, nearly all household recycle or ruse paper and plastic bags. In fac, Australia is the number one recycler of old newspapers ~ ‘every year, more than two billion copies are recycled Presenter That certainly is good news! What have you got next for us? Abby We're going to Scandinavia next, to Sweden, In Sweden, recycling isa sway of life. Everything from electrical fs recycled and Sweden isthe leader in recycling plastic bottles and aluminium 7. Alehough the country in 2009, produces quite a lot of waste theamount was about 480 person per year only 4% of that ends up in landfill sites, The rests used ina special programme called the Waste- to-energy Programme, Waste is burnt ‘and en of thousands of homes. [n fact, recently Sweden ran out of waste for the scheme and ithad to be imported from abroad Presenter What about countries that Abby The main problem with recycling in many countries ofthe world is that there is no official garbage collection. That means that the State does nothing about recycling, either, Take India, for example. Local newspapers report that each person on average only produces halfa kilo of waste per year, but with a population of well over a thousand million, chats stilla lot of rubbish! Presenter Soin countries like India, nothing is recycled? Abby intndi tually, lots of things bbavie often ina very unofficial way. People call on houses to buy old Jothes, out-of-date newspapers, and broken electrical goods cheaply. Then they sell hese items ae ahi ro companies who make sone, Lifferent out of them. In che end, about quarter of the waste is recycled Presenter Abby, tellus about another country Ii Abby Well, South Af same kind of problem, although most households do have access toa garbay collection, The problem is there aren many places to take recyclables, and atthe momentall of he waste ends pata landfill site In 201], a waste management report said that the average South African currently produces about (0.7 kg of wasce per yearand only about 3.3% of thisis recycled. This is mostly ‘done by people who collece cans, paper,tlass, and plastic From dustbins and recently introduced a new law to try to improve the situation, The aim ofthe new Waste Actisthacall households separate their rubbish within the next four years. Presenter Let'shope te works! Abby thankyou for joining ws. Abby You're very welcome 48)) Presenter Helloan amme. Now, you may have noticed welcome to the ifyou wancto getajob. Around a fifth ‘of young people are being taken on by Now, se fai that ca employing, often very well-qualified, young people without paying them? Today, we have Olga with us. Olga, you worked asan intern, and now, Pm pleased to say, you are in full-term employment Olga Well juestion ofliving expenses. Most White's you idlike to stare with th internships last for about three months Many graduates can’t afford to live away from home for such a lon without earning any money. Internships in London are completely out of reach for most of the UK's you that reports a huge 78% ofall 18-10 344-year-olds have said ‘hae they could not afford to livein the capital if they were offered an unpaid nternship. That leaves companie: n London with only 22% of allthe country’s graduates to choose fromif they don’toffera salary. So by offering unpaid internships, these companies are limiting the choice of people they ‘ean take on. Ifthe internship was paid, then the company could choose the most talented applicants, instead of only employing those candidates who have {enough money to ps Presenter What other reasons do you Olga. Well, employing an unpaid intern for along period of time is tually illegal. You see, the company is breaking the Minimum Wage Act of 1998, This, law states char all workers must receive wage. So far, all ofthe i taken ferns who have paying them have won their ease. And So, yousee, inthe long rn, it might ‘unpaid inteen than to give them salary Presenter But won't companies ake on fewer interns if they have to pay for them? Olga Thac certainly isa possibilty, David, but think thae chere is another alternative, In my opinion, ‘we should go back to the traditional work experience placements of the past. Th placements lasted only ‘wo weeks and they were much more suitable for graduates who coulda’ afford to work free fora long period of week placements instead of three-month time. Ifcompanies offered tw unpaid internships, they wouldn't be in danger of breaking the law and they Presenter Thank you, Olga. Now; let's hear from Terence Littlewood.
