Eko
There will be only big pile of trash... Nothing interesting or useful to learn... Awful smell... Stinky rubbish mountain... New topic to me! Lots of homeless people
and rats... Very far in unknown direction out of Riga... Some kind of dump...
We will be taught how to sort trash We will be guided through the trash
mountain... Unbearable smell all around...
A big, well organized polygon They produce warmth
I wasn’t expecting that well organized system where everything is planned and none of those made products weren’t forgotten!
I liked their solution for grass mowing by sheep
Very tasty tomatoes from greenhouse! I did like the atmosphere in the conference
room and we were serious Now I will start thinking more serious about
our tidiness...
