Yeah, I'm sorry, but fuck that shit.
I won't cut down any trees, I'll plant stuff, but I will NOT buy green products when the non-green products work better and are cheaper. |

It's like that Method brand. I bought the hand soap, but had to use 4 times as much water to get the film of my hands. That stuff is crap, too.

I always know when its recycling day .. the streets and dicthes are covered in plastic bottles and bags and papers are blown everywhere.. Good job recyclers.
and whats with recycled paper..... they replant trees and paper mills use fast growing polar and stuff that they grow and harvest .I say we ship all of our
trash to the middle east and dump it there.

You get food drippings in them so whaddya have to do? Friggin throw em in the washer wich uses more energy, soap and water. Green isn't necessarily environmentally friendly Nomi. It's more marketing bullshit then anything else. |

Not every 'green' product is inferior, but people slap the word on anything.

Penn and Teller did a BS special on recycling. Pretty much 99% of it is useless.

I actually start the day by emptying 10 to 20 cans of VO5 outside just to expedite global warming. I wont be happy until all of north america is a desert and

I just read someone's Tweet that said they were "greening their grandparents' 50 year old house".
It turned me off straight away. |

By Elizabeth Royte
Praise for Garbage Land A New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2005 A Washington Post Book World Best Books of the Year "My favorite investigative book of the year is Elizabeth Royte's "Garbage Land." Many of us are curious about what happens to our garbage after we throw it out, but only Royte had the guts - and the stomach - to actually follow her own trash and find out. "Garbage Land" is a journey through the mysterious world of landfills, metal shredders, and biosolids. It ain't pretty, but it is utterly fascinating." --Bruce Barcott, NPR/Living on Earth, November 28, 2005 "Royte is a journalist with a nose for the "sordid afterlife" of trash, thoroughly at home in the putrid world of "Coney Island whitefish" (used condoms); "disco rice" (maggots); and--the darling of American consumer culture and the nemesis of waste activists-- "Satan's resin" (plastic)." --The New Yorker, September 12, 2005 "Garbage has found its poet, and her name is Elizabeth Royte. In her new book, Garbage Land, America's trash trucks, waste treatment facilities, landfills, and compost heaps, as well as her san men, haulers, bureaucrats, suspiciously taciturn landfill operators, and oddly evangelistic environmentalists, are lavished with the attention of a thorough, perceptive, graceful, and often witty writer." --Jamie Malanowski, Washington Monthly, September 2005 "Anyone who cares about the environment half as much as Royte does should read this book. Then, recycle it. Or better yet, give it away." --Gary Wisby, Chicago Sun Times, July 31, 2005 "Her writing is wry and appealing. There's little waste in Royte's winning words. Seldom has garbage been handled with such care." --Clayton Collins, Christian Science Monitor, July 19, 2005 "An eye-opening book, and in a throwaway culture a must read." --Moira Bailey, People Magazine, July 25, 2005 A New York Times Editor's Choice. A Powells.com staff choice and bestseller. "Ms Royte is a dogged reporter and a vivid writer, which means her catalog of crimes against nature hits the senses hard." --William Grimes, New York Times, July 15, 2005 "As impressive as Royte's doggedness and investigative skill is the care she takes with language. In a book where facts and figures are so plentiful and ominous, felicitous phrasing can work like the proverbial spoonful of sugar." --Jabari Asim, The Washington Post, July 10, 2005 Starred review. "Royte's nervy and unprecedented journey through the land of garbage is fascinating, appalling, and--thanks to her keen first-person journalism, commonsense skepticism, and amusing personal asides--downright entertaining." --Donna Seaman, Booklist "The author's adventures in waste management provide a riveting travelog punctuated by a scathing indictment of American consumption." --Daniel Terdiman, Wired, August 2005 "This likeable chronicle of rubbish-realization [is the story of a] journey everyone should take but few will." --Neil Genzlinger, New York Times Book Review, July 10, 2005 "Royte is a modern-day, modernist muckraker, exhibiting more irony, realism, and resignation than righteous indignation. Her head and heart are with the gung-ho greens, but she wishes they'd lighten up a bit." --Glenn C. Altschuler, Boston Globe, July 3, 2005 "The author recounts her experiences with a dose of humor that makes it easier to swallow the sobering statistics about our trash." --Heather Landy, Star-Telegram (Dallas/Fort Worth), June 26, 2005 "Buy a copy of this book. Garbage Land is a thoughtful look at the history and future of trash. Most important, it's a look at what we can learn about ourselves by studying what we discard." --Scott C. Yates, Rocky Mountain News, August 12, 2005 "Reading Elizabeth Royte's Garbage Land, I was struck again and again what a perfect book this would be for a Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman film." --Juliet Waters, Montreal Mirror, July 21, 2005 "Royte's exploration of t "There's some great reporting in Garbage Land... and Royte deserves commendation for magnifying a simple smelly idea to such an expansive scale. Even better is her knack for bringing out the human side of a story most humans prefer to ignore." --John Dicker, Philadelphia City Paper "It's hard not to compare Royte's book to "Fast Food Nation" - both works examine a subject often taken for granted by stripping it to its core, leaving readers with an unsettling feeling that they should take a hard look at their habits." --Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, MSNBC.com, June 28, 2005 "Royte is a natural storyteller and skillful natural historian. Few others could have pulled off turning our feculence into fascination." Kirkus Reviews Elle magazine readers write about Garbage Land: "It came as a great surprise that the most exciting, engaging, painlessly informative book I've read in months turned out to be about garbage." -Kathleen Strattan, Narvon, PA |
