A worthy book about an important topic - the amount of rubbish in the UK and the disasterous manner in which it is being dealt with. A depressing topic - and all the more depressing when you find out just how bad the situation is - but one worth learning about. That said, the author at times could be a bit too cynical for his own good, and at places it rambled or seemed to go off on tangents. That said, it is full of information that needs to become wider known. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
We can no longer cope with our waste. Every hour in the UK we throw away enough rubbish to fill the Albert hall - a statistic quoted so often that perhaps we've stopped imagining what it means. And every year the flow accelerates. This is the story of our rubbish - from the first human bowel movement to the littering of outer space. With a hankerchief to his nose, Girling picks through our fridge mountain, our crumbling sewers, trading waste, packaging waste, hazardous industrial waste... it is a mucky saga of carelessness, greed and opportunism, wasted opportunity and official bungling. But Rubbish! is also a plea for us to consider other kinds of waste- the trashing of our landscape, the unstoppable floods of junk that clog our mailboxes, litter the skies and foul the airwaves... Rubbish!may not be a conventional battle cry but this is unmistakably a call to arms - not just for the three 'R's - reduce, re-use, recycle - but for us to fight for new ideas, brave initiative rather than reliance on old systems that are crumbling before our eyes.
