As consumers on this earth, all of us, young and aged, contribute daily to the mountainous tonnage of waste that marks human existence. Editor Margaret Haerens has compiled several fascinating viewpoints regarding garbage and recycling. The essays and articles represent divergent views, so that readers benefit from more than one intelligent opinion. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate whether garbage is a serious problem, whether recycling is effective, whether toxic waste disposal is a problem, and which strategies will reduce waste and save money. Essay sources include the Union of Concerned Scientists, GreenMuze.com, The Economist, Jane Chastain, and Graham Land.
