### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic book, and I learned a ton!
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2021*

I absolutely adored this book. While it may seem to focus on the history of trash, it was so fascinating for many different reasons! It has the environmental sustainability perspective, but not so much that it was overwhelming or ignored other aspects of the history. While reading i ended up researching tons of repair techniques that have been falling out of use, female authors, old companies and their business models, political figures i had never known about outside of their major political accomplishments, the impacts of war and economic events on a societal and individual level, and so much more. This book has so much to offer beyond what I expected. In fact, I had to take a week to digest and research each chapter before I was fully satisfied and could move on the the next section. Of course, you don’t have to take as much time as I did or even do that much research, but I felt that it really brought this book to life.

    Why We Waste and What We Can Do About It
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2015*

Anyone looking to understand WHY we waste in our current day and age need look no further than this exceptionally well researched and written social history of trash. Totally captivating to me who admittedly hates to waste, but I'm sure of interest to a broad swath of consumers who enjoy history and insights into our modern lifestyles. I garnered many insights for WeHateToWaste.com, a global community that I manage, about what worked in the past and why to incentivize people to reduce waste or to collect it for economic purposes, and how these same strategies might be updated for the future.

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2016*

I liked the first chapter about reworking clothing to extend its life.  It was fascinating to think of women doing all of this work by hand!  And then....each chapter got longer and more bogged down with endless and repetitive details.  Clearly the author did a massive amount of research, but why wasn't it edited?  It wasn't quite scholarly, but it had way too much dry factual information to be entertaining.
