Mundano: Trash cart superheroes

The video discusses the role of catadores, workers who collect recyclable materials, in Brazil and beyond. Despite their significant contribution to recycling, they often remain invisible and unacknowledged. The speaker, a graffiti artist and activist, uses art to raise awareness and improve the self-esteem of catadores. This led to the creation of the Pimp My Carroça movement, a crowdfunded initiative that supports catadores by providing healthcare, safety equipment, and artistic enhancements to their carts. The movement has expanded globally, involving numerous volunteers and artists, and has helped catadores gain respect and improve their livelihoods.
