Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all. For an entire year. And- as it turns out- during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken, and single stream recycling is a lie. That flushable wipes aren't flushable and compostables aren't compostable. That plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you've ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you're gonna want to read this book."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sustainable living. 650 0 $a Refuse and refuse disposal. 650 0 $a Waste minimization. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Plastic scrap. 600 10 $a Schaub, Eve O. 655 0 $a Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20240521010801.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240521010520.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044213.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020614.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230623010610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF963790EE2E11ED8D85606C28ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
