Abstract |

|
|
$aThe US leads the world in many ways, including the amount of waste we produce. Although we constitute less than 5 percent of the world's population, we use up to 30 percent of the world's resources, and per capita we generate the most trash. Throwaway Nation illuminates the problem and suggests ways we can mitigate this environmental disaster. |
