Trash Talk!: Moving toward a Zero-‐Waste World

Trash Talk! traces garbage from early Minoan refuse pits to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It notes that people have always created waste, from chewed bones to broken cell phones, and examines the pressure of overflowing landfills. The book explores approaches used around the world to handle discarded materials, including treating items once thrown away as potentially useful resources. It also considers how communities can clean up towns and the planet.
