Garbage Land: on the Secret Trail of Trash

by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 07.20.05
Culture & Celebrity (books)

royte184.jpg Brooklyn author Elisabeth Royte has followed her garbage from her apartment to landfill sites to recycling centers, followed her waste down the toilet and has written Garbageland: On the Secret Trail of Trash. She tries to reduce her garbage output- "I began to slice my banana peels into squares the size of Wheat Thins and whittle my celery stalks into matchsticks". She interviews zero waste advocates who obsess over the re-use of twist ties. Look forward to a review soon. ::Garbage Land thanks, tipster Lucy
