Back to page topWe, humans became so into innovation that we forgot our useless trash at the side that makes clutter to our environment. That is why some explorers set out on journeys to discover things about other people and other places, and Karen Hawes is just that sort.

One man's trash is another's treasure, it's said, and it appears that Karen Hawes is one to brave payday loans and landfills to see what treasures we've left behind.
