title: Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life Of Garbage
author:  Heather Rogers 
description: Americans produce the most waste of any people on Earth, says Rogers, but few of us ever think about where all that trash goes. Rogers endeavors to show the inner workings of the waste stream, from the garbage truck to the landfill, incinerator or parts unknown. She points out that recycling, once touted as an environmental lifesaver, "has serious flaws," and has done little to mitigate garbage's long history of environmental damage. Rogers also includes chapters on the history of waste removal and disposal, highlighting early sanitation efforts in New York City, as well as the multi-billion-dollar, multinational business of garbage. Consistently engaging, the book delineates the myriad problems caused by the country's waste output, but offers very few concrete examples of what readers can do to improve the garbage situation; instead, Rogers stoically acknowledges that "while consumers making choices with the environment in mind is a good thing, it is in no way a real solution to our trash woes." Nevertheless, the book is an intriguing look into an often misunderstood and overlooked industry. <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  Rick Ryder raised his eyebrows at his friend. “Lil, you’ve gotten
  kinky in your old age.” They say if you live long enough you see
  everything, and hell, here he was at only twenty-eight, witnessing
  their most uptight female friend asking to see their junk at four in the
  afternoon.
