Inhaltsangabe

A unique combination of fact and fiction Trash! tells the story of Velu, a runaway village child who ends up as a ragpicker in a big Indian city. Unusual and thought-provoking, it explores a range of issues – from child labour and child rights to waste and recycling. Re-released a decade after its first publication, this new edition is prefaced by an introduction that reflects upon the increased public awareness of child rights, but also the worrying trend of greater consumption and waste generation in today’s society.
