Waste Wars

Clapp's perspective on the hidden ecosystems of trash is eye-opening. I'm curious about what motivated him to focus on this aspect of environmental history.

Some stories of innovative recycling gave me hope, but others about pollution felt overwhelming. How do these stories change perceptions of our daily habits?

The book covers a wide array of topics, from landfills to art made from trash. I'm interested in how Clapp chose which stories to highlight and connect.
