There's no hiding the fact that for most of us reading this book will be a lesson in preparing for the apocalypse, and a brutal stripping away of our illusions . . . But if we then sink into 'ecological neurosis', it's a sign that we're on the right path to liberating the Earth from the tyranny of trash-- Polityka, Although the picture Lubienski paints is alarming, his engaging style and avoidance of histrionics make this a surprisingly enjoyable read-- Literary Review, Beautifully written and impeccably researched , this profoundly significant book digs deep into the world of waste and is a stark reminder of human impact on our planet . Fascinating, eye-opening and deeply thought-provoking - a hugely important and utterly compelling work -- author of Adrift: The Curious Tale of a Lego Lost at Sea, This is only outwardly a book about trash. In fact, it is a sad and bitter report on the current state of the world-- Gazeta Wyborcza, Compelling and hard-hitting, a bold dive into the rubbish heap piling up around us. Lubienski forces us to ask ourselves, how can we live better-- LEE SCHOFIELD, author of Wild Fell, Beautifully written and impeccably researched , this profoundly significant book digs deep into the world of waste and is a stark reminder of human impact on our planet . Fascinating, eye-opening and deeply thought-provoking - a hugely important and utterly compelling work -- TRACEY WILLIAMS , author of Adrift: The Curious Tale of a Lego Lost at Sea

Synopsis
"Everything looked perfect. Sand - unique Baltic sand, the best in the world - and the calm sea. But wait. Something was amiss. Something was wrong" It starts with a day at the beach. A single white sock that somehow spoils everything. It's enough to send writer and ornithologist Stanislaw Lubienski on a quest to understand what we throw away, where it goes and whether it will be our legacy. By analysing items he unearths on his trips into nature - a plastic bottle, a tube of Russian penis-enlargement cream, a cigarette butt, an empty aerosol can - tracing their origins and explaining the harm they can do, he shows how consumer society has developed out of control, to the point of environmental catastrophe.He also looks with a birdwatcher's eye at how various animals have come to adapt to and even rely on our rubbish, and interrogates the cultural significance of waste and the origins of our throw-away lifestyles. Finally, he adds a personal touch by examining his own "environmental neurosis" and by going out with refuse crews to watch them work.While Lubienski never hectors his readers, nor shames them, his clear-eyed, persuasive and humble polemic reminds us what we, as individuals, can and cannot do to address an apocalyptic issue while there's still something worth saving.
