'Waste is a serious problem and also a curiously fascinating one.
In this brilliant book, Franklin-Wallis goes into it up to his neck
- so we don't have to! The result is a gripping read that will
anger as much as it fascinates. There's lots we can all do to help,
but he's right to conclude that it's government and business who
really have to step up, and clean up.' Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall'This is an incredible journey into the world
of rubbish, full of fascinating characters and mind-bending
facts.My relationship with garbage is never going to be the same.'
Oliver Bullough, bestselling author of Butler to the World'A
fascinating, deeply researched and hugely important expose of what
happens to the stuff we no longer want, and the social and
environmental cost of dealing with it.' Gaia Vince 'There are
stories in all our discarded things: who made them, what they meant
to a person before they were thrown away. In the end, it all ends
up in the same place - the endless ingenuity of humanity in one
filthy, fascinating mass.' When we throw things 'away', what does
that actually mean? Where does it go, and who deals with it when it
gets there? In Wasteland, award-winning journalist Oliver
Franklin-Wallis takes us on an eye-opening journey through the
global waste industry. From the mountainous landfills of New Delhi
to Britain's overflowing sewers, from hollowed-out mining towns in
the USA to Ghana's flooded second-hand markets, we meet the people
on the frontline of our waste crisis - both those being exploited,
and those determined to make a difference.On the way, we discover
the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement, the
dark truth behind our second-hand donations, and come face to face
with the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste. Both shocking and
hopeful, Wasteland is the timely and ultimately human story at the
heart of an urgent global issue.
