Where does it go, and who deals with it when it gets there? In \u003ci\u003eWasteland\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on an eye-opening journey through the global waste industry. From the mountainous landfills of New Delhi to Britain's overflowing sewers, from hollowed-out mining towns in the USA to Ghana's flooded second-hand markets, we meet the people on the frontline of our waste crisis - both those being exploited, and those determined to make a difference. On the way, we discover the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement; the dark truth behind our second-hand donations; and come face to face with the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBoth shocking and hopeful, \u003ci\u003eWasteland\u003c\/i\u003e is the timely and ultimately human story at the heart of an urgent global issue.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040926749018,"sku":null,"price":15.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/25508613482685.jpg?v=1776790554","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/wasteland-the-dirty-truth-about-what-we-throw-away-where-it-goes-and-why-it-matters-9781398505476","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
