Download or read book Junkyard Planet written by Adam Minter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you drop your Diet Coke can or yesterday's newspaper in the recycling bin, where does it go? Probably halfway around the world, to people and places that clean up what you don't want and turn it into something you can't wait to buy. In Junkyard Planet, Adam Minter--veteran journalist and son of an American junkyard owner--travels deep into a vast, often hidden, five-hundred-billion-dollar industry that's transforming our economy and environment. With unmatched access to and insight on the waste industry, and the explanatory gifts and an eye for detail worthy of a John McPhee or a William Langewiesche, Minter traces the export of America's junk and the massive profits that China and other rising nations earn from it. What emerges is an engaging, colorful, and sometimes troubling tale of how the way we consume and discard stuff fuels a world that recognizes value where Americans don't. Junkyard Planet reveals that Americans might need to learn a smarter way to take out the trash.

Book Synopsis Trash Planet Confidential by : Louisa Vidal
Download or read book Trash Planet Confidential written by Louisa Vidal and published by Space Fruit Press. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover Trash Planet Confidential by Louisa Vidal, a steamy story where enemies-to-lovers high society lawyer Onyez clashes with savvy Vio. Onyez thought she'd left her nemesis Vio behind when she went to practice law on a different planet. But then Vio shows up in Onyez's office with a request that she can't bring herself to refuse. Will these two lawyers manage to acquit themselves, or will this be a love trial? From Trash Planet Confidential: On the sixth anniversary of Vio’s arrival in San City, she was busy with the legal ramifications of some janitorial robots that had been reprogrammed to hijack shuttles. It was also the day Onyez Jones walked into her office and asked her to help dig up some trash. “Hello, Violaine. Is this a good time to talk?” Onyez looked impeccable, like she always had. Her black hair was tied in a neat set of twists that shone like lacquer, her suit all clean lines, skin tinted a fashionable leafy green, and around her impossibly long neck was a white scarf. Bright white. Breaking-the-laws-of-San-City-physics white. “No?” Vio threw out the response automatically, only adding the inflection of a question as it sunk in that Onyez — now the lead attorney for the most powerful company in this corner of the intergalactic union, easily the most famous lawyer on Albion10, and the one classmate Vio had never managed to out-argue — was standing in front of her. Word count: 8,000 This story previously appeared in the Space Fruit Press anthology Binary Stars: Queer Sci-Fi Romance.
Download or read book Fixation written by Sandra Goldmark and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our massive, global system of consumption is broken. Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. Since founding Fixup, a pop-up repair shop that brought her coverage in The New York Times, Salon, New York Public Radio, and more, Sandra Goldmark has become a leader in the movement to demand better "stuff" and to bring companies on board. Her solution is surprisingly simple and involves all of us: have good stuff, not too much, mostly reclaimed, care for it, and pass it on. Fixation charts the path to the next frontier in the health, wellness, and environmental movements--learning how to value stewardship over waste. Passionate, wise, and practical, Fixation offers us a new understanding of stuff by building a value chain where good design, reuse, and repair are the status quo.

Download or read book Gone Tomorrow written by Heather Rogers and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A galvanizing exposé” of America’s trash problem from plastic in the ocean to “wasteful packaging, bogus recycling, and flawed landfills and incinerators” (Booklist, starred review). Eat a take-out meal, buy a pair of shoes, or read a newspaper, and you’re soon faced with a bewildering amount of garbage. The United States is the planet’s number-one producer of trash. Each American throws out 4.5 pounds daily. But garbage is also a global problem. Today, the Pacific Ocean contains six times more plastic waste than zooplankton. How did we end up with this much rubbish, and where does it all go? Journalist and filmmaker Heather Rogers answers these questions by taking readers on a grisly and fascinating tour through the underworld of garbage. Gone Tomorrow excavates the history of rubbish handling from the nineteenth century to the present, pinpointing the roots of today’s waste-addicted society. With a “lively authorial voice,” Rogers draws connections between modern industrial production, consumer culture, and our throwaway lifestyle (New York Press). She also investigates the politics of recycling and the export of trash to poor countries, while offering a potent argument for change. “A clear-thinking and peppery writer, Rogers presents a galvanizing exposé of how we became the planet’s trash monsters. . . . [Gone Tomorrow] details everything that is wrong with today’s wasteful packaging, bogus recycling, and flawed landfills and incinerators. . . . Rogers exhibits black-belt precision.” —Booklist, starred review
Book Synopsis World Wide Waste: How Digital Is Killing Our Planetâand What We Can Do About It by : Gerry McGovern
Download or read book World Wide Waste: How Digital Is Killing Our Planetâand What We Can Do About It written by Gerry McGovern and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking out when it's unpopular. Back in the day, Henry David Thoreau raged at the robber barons-the big shots of their age, despoiling the environment in the name of progress. Deep in the throes of the seemingly unstoppable growth of tech, a modern-day Thoreau has emerged in the guise of Gerry McGovern-decrying the massive, hidden negative impacts of tech on the environment. McGovern has thoroughly documented in World Wide Waste how tech damages the Earth-and what we should be doing about it. It is not just the acres of discarded computer hardware conveniently dumped in Third World countries. Every time an email is downloaded it contributes to global warming. Every tweet, search, check of a webpage creates pollution. Digital is physical. Those data centers are not in the Cloud. They're on land in massive physical buildings packed full of computers hungry for energy. It seems invisible. It seems cheap and free. It's not. Digital costs the Earth.
