What We Leave Behind

This book is a guide to living a responsible life on Earth. Human waste, once regarded as a gift to the soil, has transformed into a toxic material that has disrupted the fundamental cycle of decay and regeneration. Author Derrick Jensen and activist Aric McBay combine historical analysis and prose to remind us that life, both human and nonhuman, will not endure unless we actively facilitate the most basic process on Earth, that being the root of sustainability, that one being’s waste must become another being’s food.
