Year of No Garbage Is Super Size Me Meets the Environmental Movement, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all. For an entire year. And-as it turns out-during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns more than she bargained for: that modern recycling is broken, and single stream recycling is a lie. That flushable wipes aren't flushable and compostables aren't compostable. That plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placentas of unborn babies. This startling and fact-filled memoir is for everyone who wants to decrease their personal garbage footprint but would rather Eve do it first and tell you how.
