An eye-opening, 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 difficult to take the time to understand our own waste habits. In Trash talkthe ever-curious and talented Iris Gottlieb pulls back the curtain on the complexity of the global waste production system and its contribution to climate change. From the history of mob rule over New York’s sanitation system to space junk and the myth of recycling, Gottlieb will help readers see waste in a whole new way.
Complete with beautiful illustrations and research into various landfills, Trash talk sheds much-needed light on a system that has been broken for far too long, and provides readers with surprising, disgusting, and insightful information to better understand how we impact waste and how it impacts us.
