Produktinformationen "Rubbish!"
We can no longer cope with our waste. Every hour in the UK we throw away enough rubbish to fill the Albert hall - a statistic quoted so often that perhaps we've stopped imagining what it means. And every year the flow accelerates. This is the story of our rubbish - from the first human bowel movement to the littering of outer space. With a hankerchief to his nose Girling picks through our fridge mountain our crumbling sewers trading waste packaging waste hazardous industrial waste... it is a mucky saga of carelessness greed and opportunism wasted opportunity and official bungling. But Rubbish! is also a plea for us to consider other kinds of waste: the trashing of our landscape the unstoppable floods of junk that clog our mailboxes litter the skies and foul the airwaves... Rubbish! may not be a conventional battle cry but this is unmistakably a call to arms - not just for the three 'R's - reduce re-use recycle - but for us to fight for new ideas brave initiative rather than reliance on old systems that are crumbling before our eyes.
