Book Discussion: Garbage Land, by Elizabeth Royte
Ever wonder where your waste really goes? Award winning science writer Elizabeth Royte did and she relentlessly followed the trail of her trash -- including recycled plastics, e-waste (computers, cell phones, etc.) -- even her Fig Newman’’s wrapper to its end point. "Booklist" says, "Royte’’s nervy and unprecedented journey through the land of garbage is fascinating, appalling, and - thanks to her keen first-person journalism, common sense skepticism, and amusing personal asides - downright entertaining." Turners Falls Carnegie Librarian Linda Hickman will lead a lively discussion of this Washington Post Book World, "Best Books of 2005" winner. The second in its "Trashy Truth Series" this fall, participants can also share trash reduction successes and brainstorm ways their households can generate less waste.
October 16, 6:30 PM - 08:30 PM, ages 12 and older, FREE, Carnegie Library, 201 Avenue A, Turners Falls , Pre-register by calling Carnegie Library at 413-863-3214
Copies of the book are available for loan through Western MA libraries. Visit www.cwmars.org and click on "Library Catalogs" and "Western MA Libraries" to order a copy to be delivered to your hometown library.
