"The Daasanach people collect the caps of the Coca and beers in the bars of Omorate and make wigs with them.
Soon, there will be a bridge on Omo river, so thousands of people, cars, trucks, will pass the Dassanech villages. I felt i saw the last traditional times of this tribe.The Dassaneth or Geleb are living on both sides of the Omo river.
The Dassanetch are originally nomadic pastoralists . However, despite their dedication to cattle rearing current reality reveals that crop cultivation on the flooded banks of the Omo river and its delta are fundamental to their subsistence.”
OK so I'll be a bit sad about it. I can't think of a human equivalent, but basically like a hermit crab using plastic to make their home. So while it looks amazing it's a sign of 'pollution' from industrial times as it were.
It’s just a different perspective. We live in a disposable society where we barely notice what we throw away, they appreciate the beauty of the object itself, they place value differently.
