Trash Talk: An Eye-Opening Exploration of Our Planet’s Dirtiest Problem
Published by TarcherPerigee
An in-depth look into the weird, fascinating and dark world of global garbage. In a world of mass consumption and busy schedules, taking the time to understand our own trash habits can be daunting. Trash Talk pulls back the curtain on the intricacies of the global trash production system and its contribution to climate change. From the history of the mafia’s rule of the New York sanitation system to orbital debris (space trash) to the myth of recycling, Trash Talk shines a much-needed light on a system that has been broken for far too long, providing readers with surprising, disgusting, and insightful information to better understand how we affect garbage and how it affects us.
