As always, I'm accepting suggestions and critiques of what's included! Feel free to share thoughts and recommendations. I fell down a rabbit hole looking for more books, and I'm passionate about waste reduction, so here we go.
Scope of this list will be nonfiction books about
- garbage,
- where it goes,
- how it impacts developing nations as the West exports ever-more of it,
- how impacts our environment,
- how it contributes to the global climate crisis,
- how it contributes to the depletion of limited natural resources on our planet, and
- how so much of it is linked to rampant consumerism.
Thanks in advance!
okay Tony Soprano!!!!!! this is such a cool list!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO I audibly snorted thatâs hilarious
I had a big sopranos phase a few years ago and put stickers of all their faces on my water bottle đ
Amazing list! đââď¸
Thank you!! Iâm gonna do some research over the next few days to find more since Iâm sure they gotta exist.
For sure! I feel like this list is a cousin to my list with books about how humanity produces so much trash that we will be scavenging for survival in the future. đââď¸
It is!! I saw it when I searched to see if there were lists like this that already exist. hopefully people see these comments and go look because honestly they might be sisters LOL
