Where the Wind Carries the Waste
Where the Wind Carries the Waste: A Story of Ordinary People

Where the Wind Carries the Waste is a story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
In neighborhoods and on streets everywhere, elderly aunties and uncles push carts and ride scooters, quietly collecting what the world has thrown away. What seems like a simple pastime has grown into something much larger, an unexpected movement.
This audiobook follows their daily lives, their quiet dignity, and the invisible economy of recycling. It is a gentle, humorous, and heartfelt look at the people who make the world cleaner, one piece of scrap at a time.
