The Ademe « Batucamob » for the European Week For Waste Reduction

On Saturday the 20th of November, the Ademe and its partners kicked off the European Week For Waste Reduction with a bang.

A group of percussionists took part in a Batucamob (combination between a Batucada and a Flash Mob): a unique event that highly entertained the Trocadéro in Paris with exotic Batucada rythms (famous Brazilian music). One significant difference though: the music instruments were replaced by thrash cans, tins, and other scrap metal boxes and pots!

One could not imagine a better (and noisy) way to highlight the issues that waste management represents (Each person produces more than 390kg of waste in a year!).




The Sidièse team, which organized the event, were out there in full force! For those who sadly could not participate, a video is available on www.batucamob-serd.fr
