Bente Joergensen is a former gymnasium teacher, and here she is washing away algae from the fence around her house, where she has lived for more than 20 years with her husband, chemical engineer Soeren Hansen. Their house is only 100 meters from the industrial pig farm Vandvaerksgaarden.
Here Bente cleans the fence around her property. Like everything else on the property the fence is covered with algae, which she and her husband believe is nourished from the nitrogen in the ammonia emitted from the farm. Bente says her blue fence will soon be covered in green algae again, so to keep it blue she has to clean it several times a year. Bente feels, that her life is ruined because of the heavy and rotten smell from Vandvaerksgaarden.
