”With a background in psychology and sociology, Simon Paré-Poupart has also worked as a journalist and social worker. His unconventional career path has given him a unique perspective on what we throw away and what our waste reveals about us. 

A practitioner of freeganism, he rescues and repurposes items that others consider trash, turning waste into valuable resources. Through his work, he also invites us to reflect on the kind of world we want to leave for future generations. 

His first book, Ordures! Journal d’un vidangeur, published by Lux Éditeur in September 2024, was acclaimed by both critics and readers and received the 2025 Prix des libraires du Québec in the essay category.” (https://www.simonparepoupart.com/)
