Maldives 'trashing' an island

In a bid to battle a growing waste problem, The Maldives has been dumping almost all of its rubbish on a single one of its some 1,200 islands.

Thilafushi island has turned into a dump, and environmental activists say the bad practices adopted there are causing contaminants to seep into the country's once pristine sea water, and then into the food chain.

Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Thilafushi Island, The Maldives.
