Photo of the Day: A Belarussian Emergency Ministry worker walks on barrels of pesticide at a burial site in a forest near the village of Savichi, some 99 miles southwest of Minsk.

About 640 tons of pesticides, including DDT, were extracted from the ground due to pollution issues. The pesticides were loaded into plastic barrels and prepared to be transported and recycled in Germany, according to participants. (Photo: REUTERS/Vasily Fedosenko)
