- ""Journalist Heather Rogers guides us through the grisly, oddly fascinating underworld of trash. Excavating the history of rubbish handling from the 1800s - an era of garbage-grazing urban hogs and dump-dwelling rag pickers - to the present, with its high-tech "mega-fills" operated by multi-billion-dollar garbage corporations, Rogers investigates the roots of today's waste-addicted culture. Gone Tomorrow also explores the politics of recycling, which is popular but has serious limitations, and is only a first step toward more fundamental solutions such as reuse and the reduction of packaging." "Combining a gripping expose with a potent argument for change, Rogers's book traces the connections between modern industrial production, consumer culture, and our throwaway lifestyle."--BOOK JACKET."
