It's time to crack the books!  Greenwich Environmental Affairs, in partnership with Perrot Memorial Library, will host its next Conservation Book of the Month on Monday, September 16 at 7pm. Their selection this round is Total Garbage: How We Can Fix Our Waste and Heal Our World by author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes.

Total Garbage is an investigative narrative that dives into the waste embedded in our daily lives—and shows how individuals and communities are making a real difference for health, prosperity, quality of life and the fight against climate change. 

This story-driven and in-depth exploration of the pervasive yet hard-to-see wastefulness that permeates our daily lives illuminates the ways in which we've been duped into accepting absolutely insane levels of waste as normal. Total Garbage also tells the story of individuals and communities who are finding the way back from waste, and showing us that our choices truly matter and make a difference.
