After setting out the contours of this \"weak recycling waste regime,\" Pollans zooms in on the very different waste management stories of Seattle and Boston over the last forty years. While Boston's local politics resulted in a waste-export program with minimal recycling, Seattle created new frameworks for thinking about consumption, disposal, and the roles that local governments and ordinary people can play as partners in a project of resource stewardship. By exploring how these two approaches have played out at the national level, \u003ci\u003eResisting Garbage\u003c\/i\u003e provides new avenues for evaluating municipal action and fostering practices that will create environmentally meaningful change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lily Baum Pollans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477323708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477323700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.38w x 0.85d","brand":"Lily Baum Pollans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051922944255,"sku":"9781477323700","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b5cad62-2f85-40f9-af5a-ff3e44834318.jpg?v=1685015976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resisting-garbage-lily-baum-pollans-9781477323700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
