Garbology

Garbology offers a unique perspective on waste, but I wonder what motivated Edward Humes to tackle this topic and how he approached uncovering its deeper implications.

Reading about the sheer volume of trash was eye-opening and a bit daunting. It made me wonder if individual actions can truly make a difference or if systemic change is the only way forward.

The book weaves together history, science, and personal stories. I'm curious about the research process and how he chose which examples would best illustrate our complex relationship with garbage.
