Description
Not far from one of Athens' busiest highways, workers pick olives beside a bus stop. The aim is to prevent waste and make olive oil for the Greek capital's poorer citizens. A staple in the Mediterranean diet for centuries, a one-litre bottle of olive oil now costs between nine and 18 euros ($9.50-19) on supermarket shelves in Greece -- but this olive harvest, estimated at around one tonne of olives this year, is being given away for free.
