TRASH
I see that many of the students are discussing trash and how to make the public more aware of this problem through art.I relate to this because my book one is all about this issue and the cool thing is that Abdul(character in my book)whose livelihood is collecting,sorting and then selling trash to the big recycling companies, to make money for his family to survive in the slums of Mumbai,,,...is not doing it for any other reason but to make money as it is the most lucrative job in the slums..but he doesn't even realize the good he is doing by collecting and getting rid of the trash,,,,interesting
