- Information
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?
Rebecca Donnelly wades into the muck of history and explores present-day innovations to answer some basic questions: Why do we make so much trash?
Why are we so bad at handling it? How can we stop it (that is, us) from ruining the planet?
She also looks into the out-there trash phenomena like the fatberg—a sewer-clogging floater of congealed cooking grease, baby wipes, and miscellaneous other flushed items.
