Trash Your Trash for Earth Day
Edward Humes with Andrew Revkin
Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Edward Humes (Garbology) with renowned environmental journalist Andrew Revkin on the shocking state of consumer waste — and Humes’ new book, Total Garbage: How We Can Fix Our Waste and Heal Our World.
Our garbage pervades every aspect of our daily lives. But it doesn’t have to. Investigating the disturbing correlation between waste and prosperity, Edward Humes shines a light on the absurdity of the systems that heap trash upon trash — along with the people and communities who are working to transform the way we consume, from reusable clothing to California microfarms to electric vehicles. As we gear up for Earth Day, hear Humes and Revkin discuss the nature of waste in 2024 and why there’s hope for a greener future.
