Description
Wasteland: The Dirty Truth about what We Throw Away, where it Goes, and why it Matters by Oliver Franklin-Wallis is a thought-provoking exploration of the global waste industry. The book takes readers on a journey through the world of discarded things, revealing the people and places on the frontline of our waste crisis. From the overflowing sewers of Britain to the mountainous landfills of New Delhi, and from hollowed-out mining towns in the USA to Ghana's flooded second-hand markets, the author meets those being exploited and those determined to make a difference. Along the way, he uncovers the dark truth behind our second-hand donations and the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement. This book is a timely and ultimately human story at the heart of an urgent global issue, shedding light on the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste and the consequences of our actions.
