An illuminating exploration of our planet’s dirtiest problem EPUB / Wish4book

An illuminating, illustrated look at something we often take for granted: our waste and the systems that make it disappear (or not)

In a world of mass consumption and busy schedules, it can be daunting to take the time to understand our own waste habits. In Trash Talk, the ever-curious and talented Iris Gottlieb pulls back the curtain on the complexities of the global waste production system and its contribution to climate change. From the history of the Mafia’s rule over New York’s sanitation system to space junk (orbital debris) to the myth of recycling, Gottlieb will help readers see waste in a whole new way.

Trash Talk is a beautifully illustrated book full of research into landfills. It sheds much-needed light on a system that has been broken for far too long. Readers are given surprising, disgusting, and insightful information to better understand how we affect waste and how it affects us.
