Saumya Roy is a journalist and activist from Mumbai India who spent eight years writing: Castaway Mountain: Love and Loss Among the Waste Pickers of Mumbai. The book is so beautifully written, weaving together stories of how we can create something out of nothing with an examination of what it means to be human. The story centers on a family that lives on the slopes of Deonar waste mountain, the largest pile of trash in India. What emerges from talking to Ms Roy are stories of a shared humanity and struggle for dignity that we must harness if we are to avoid the worst of a climate uncertain future.
