The Waste of the World

Reviews / Votes

"This book doesn't end on a recipe for solutions; it does something much more important. It identifies three major challenges in the form of research questions, with the answers to these questions forming the beginnings of solutions that are appropriately scaled to the problems of waste writ large." D?iscard Studies "Providing a sweeping and detailed assessment of the global waste problem, this book speaks brilliantly to multiple audiences - from everyday consumers, to policymakers, to CEOs, activists and academics." Josh Lepawsky, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador "Nicky Gregson persuasively argues that we need to reorient our understanding away from consumer responsibility to consumption as a global set of practices that structure our relations to the world." Myra Hird, Queen's University and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada
