Sasha: After Dumped
Watch Video: Sasha - Looking back on Dumped >
Being in the environment for three weeks and having it in your face so much, it's amazing how you change the way you think.
I never even thought about what I threw away in to my bin... I didn't think about how food's are packaged.
I used to think, well, to make a big dramatic change the small things don't count at all and actually they do.

Since leaving the dump, Sasha has been on a recycling mission. She now separates her plastics from her paper. She has changed her attitude towards her mobile and barely uses it – her bill has been reduced by more than £100 this month.
The biggest realisation of the change she had undergone came when Sasha's family visited the dump in the last week:
'I was showing them round really proudly, showing them what we'd built and they were absolutely appalled that I was literally living in the middle of a dump!'
And her new-found building skills are going to be put to good use as she's promised to build her Nan a sauna in her back garden!
