"Eve’s brave and honest experiment reveals the shocking impact of
the throwaway society we’ve become and at the same time showing
small ways we can all do better.” —Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, founder
of Plastic Free July Year of No Garbage is Super Size Me meets the
environmental movement. In this book 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 some startling things: 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 placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever
thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re
gonna want to read this book.
