Total Garbage: A Messy Dive into Trash, Waste, and Our World
Rebecca Donnelly
This illustrated nonfiction book examines trash and waste across human history and in the present day. Its chapters consider what trash is, where garbage comes from, why so much is produced, where it goes, and what can be learned from it. The book distinguishes waste created during production from waste after an item is used, and discusses options and limits for handling different materials. A trash timeline, selected resources, and an index extend its look at individual and collective choices around garbage.
