"The phrase 'to throw away' is more viscerally expulsive than even our terms for bodily functions, with the possible exception of 'to throw up'—which, in spite of or because of the generosity of Clapp’s reporting, is what I felt like doing." -- @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

Alex Clapp’s forthcoming book on the political economy of the global garbage trade, Waste Wars, is phenomenal. Forthcoming February 25.

WASTE WARS examines green hypocrisies, false dramas of recycling, inter-state trash rivalries, and how the offshoring of our consumption footprints has only encouraged waste's proliferation - and a planet now buried in garbage.
