Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash

An average of $50 billion in squandered trash is rolled out to the curb each year. In his new book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes investigate the phenomena of trash - what's in it, how much we pay for it, how we manage to create so much of it, and how it represents the greatest untapped opportunity of the century. Also including a collection of garbage denizens, this book reveals not just what we throw away, but what it means for where our society is headed and how we can recycle this waste to prosper instead.
