Bangkok, THAILAND: This photo taken on December 23, 2012 shows Thai children selecting used bottles and cans before trading them at a zero baht shop in Bangkok. By selling to the recycling plants in bulk, the cooperative gets a better rate than individual scavengers would manage on their own. AFP PHOTO/Pornchai Kittiwongsakul
