October’s book is Trash! : A Garbageman’s Story by Simon Paré-Poupart. This fascinating no-bullshit account of twenty years in waste management paints a vivid portrait of the heroic labor, anarchic spirit, and violent conditions of the people who keep our cities clean.
After a guided discussion of the book, we’ll talk about how we can take what we’ve learned and use it to implement real, lasting change in our communities.
