4. Drone shot showing plastic dumped on the banks of the stream, likely from the informal settlement ++MUTE++
5. Drone shot showing dumped plastic close to stream, likely from two sources: the informal settlement and agriculture further upstream ++MUTE++
6. Ecologist Marcos Diéguez Vida looking at stream, pan to stream
7. Diéguez Vidal walking past plastic from agriculture tangled in vegetation
8. Diéguez Vidal looking at plastic choking an indigenous plant, UPSOUND: (Spanish) "This is plastic that they use in greenhouses on the ground and that means they often carry pesticides too."
9. Pan from pile of plastic, mainly from agriculture, to stream
10. Low angle of Diéguez Vidal walking along banks of stream strewn with plastic waste from both agriculture and the informal settlement
11. Tilt up of bank of stream covered in plastic waste to Diéguez Vidal
12. UPSOUND: (Spanish) Marcos Diéguez Vidal, Ecologists in Action:
"This is an insecticide bottle. We’ve got all the warnings here – flammable, corrosive, harmful to people, harmful to the environment – insecticide."
13. Tilt up of Diéguez Vidal walking along bank of stream through plastic waste
14. Tilt up from pile of plastic waste to stream
15. Diéguez Vidal showing bottle of fertilizer
16. Diéguez Vidal walking through large amount of plastic waste from agriculture trapped in reeds
17. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Marcos Diéguez Vidal, Ecologists in Action:
"This rubbish wasn’t left here. It was dumped in places further upstream in much larger quantities. So, of course, when the water flows, this plastic floats and bit by bit it gets spread out right across the stream, getting tangled in vegetation and, when the streams reach the sea, some of it winds up in the sea."
18. Drone shot showing plastic waste from informal settlement that will wash into the steam during next DANA (major rainstorm) ++MUTE++
19. Drone shot following direction of stream with plastic on banks ++MUTE
20. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Marcos Diéguez Vidal, Ecologists in Action:
"It’s very clear. This is a channel that normally doesn’t have water in it. Or the water that is here – in this case, it’s from a purification plant – doesn’t reach the sea. So when a DANA comes – an episode which produces hugely high water levels which can completely flood this whole channel – that’s when this plastic left here can reach the sea."
21. Various of Diéguez Vidal showing plastic from agriculture that has been buried on banks of the stream by the action of the water from previous DANAs
