Description
Underground pipes hold secrets about human eating habits and disease spread. They also reveal why plastic and trash are contaminating waterways around the world. Jessica Leigh Hester explores how sewers reflect our world, particularly in times of environmental degradation. By examining the past, present, and future of sewer systems, Hester argues that understanding these networks is crucial for addressing issues like urbanization, public health, infrastructure, ecology, sustainability, and consumerism. This fresh perspective on waste management offers a new way to approach questions about our values and how we steward the environment. Object Lessons, published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, presents a unique insight into the world of sewers and their significance for our future.
