This is an interesting concept for a reality show:

Eleven unsuspecting volunteers are left marooned on one of Britain’s biggest landfill sites for three weeks. Their challenge? To survive off the rubbish the rest of us have thrown out.

Reader support helps sustain our work. Donate today to keep our climate news free. All donations DOUBLED!

How will they react when they are delivered to a huge, smelly British landfill site instead of paradise? And, how will our volunteers cope when brought face to face with the sheer scale of the typical British landfill?

It’s like Survivor: Landfill, minus Jeff Probst. Also, smellier. And no million-dollar prize at the end. Also, no one gets kicked off. OK, it’s not like Survivor at all. But it still looks deliciously trashy …
