Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash

Garbology

Pretty interesting but also horrifying. I felt the text was a little overly judgmental without offering a lot of large-scale solutions. Obviously using a handkerchief instead of tissues or toilet paper is a great idea to reduce your personal trash output but it doesn’t take int consideration water waste or contaminants in the water from laundry. The author also seemed rather flippant about air pollution. I’d love a more holistic view of the waste issue personally.
