"As this sprightly book makes clear, it's hard to throw something 'away' because a finite planet doesn't really have an awaynot even in orbit, where space junk is piling up. So we better start thinking through some new approaches!"
Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
"Trash Talk is a brilliant, revelatory delight to read. It is an anthropological whodunit that thoroughly describes how much we extract from the living world and transform it into the dead world. Who thought a book on trash could be a page-turner. Think again!"
Paul Hawken, author of Drawdown and Regeneration
“Like all of Iris Gottlieb's books, Trash Talk is a marvel of fascinating information, relatable insights, and laugh-out-loud hilarious illustrations and commentary. You'll be engrossed, entertained, and horrified by all the waste-related facts packed into the book, along with genuinely useful details about the world of trash that most of us know so little about. Everyone should read this book!”
Margaret (Mei) and Irene Li, authors of Perfectly Good Food: A Totally Achievable Zero Waste Approach to Home Cooking
