Garbology

Discover the incredible world of trash with a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in Garbology. This book explores America's biggest export and most prodigious product: garbage. Learn about what's in it, how we manage to create so much of it, and how some families and communities have found ways to turn waste into prosperity. From MIT's trash-tracking detectives to San Francisco's dump-residing artists, this book introduces a cast of garbage denizens like you've never seen before. Ultimately, Garbology reveals how waste is not just an environmental issue, but also an economic one that everyday Americans have the power to change.
