(Book)
Copies
Description
Trash has been part of human societies since the beginning. It seems like the inevitable end to the process of making and using things―but why? In this fascinating account of the waste we make, we'll wade into the muck of history and explore present-day STEM innovations to answer these important questions: What is garbage? Where does our garbage come from? Why do we make so much garbage? Where does our garbage go? What can we learn from our garbage? How bad is our garbage problem? How can we do better? Rebecca Donnelly tackles the extraordinary, the icky, and the everyday, helping us see how our choices, personal and societal, impact our world and our planet―and encouraging us make a change. Back matter includes a timeline of the history of waste management, selected bibliography, and index.
