Book Discussion – Garbology by Edward Humes

Amy Donovan from Franklin County Solid Waste District will join us to discuss Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash by Edward Humes.

“Zestful in his curiosity and irrepressible in his vivid chronicling…Humes finds hope in the innovative work of dedicated garbologists, trash trackers, and activists who are intent on exposing the hazards and travesties of excessive trash and pointing the way to the ‘low-waste path.'” – Booklist (starred review)

“An eye-opening account reminding us of something we try to forget:  We are a wasteful society with a trash problem that is polluting our oceans and packing our landfills.” – The Boston Globe

Books are available at the library.  This free Deerfield Reads event is sponsored in part by Deerfield Cultural Council, Friends of Tilton Library and Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
