Resisting Garbage -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aResisting Garbage presents a new approach to understanding practices of waste removal and recycling in American cities, one that is grounded in the close observation of case studies while being broadly applicable to many American cities today. Most current waste practices in the United States, Lily Baum Pollans argues, prioritize sanitation and efficiency while allowing limited post-consumer recycling as a way to quell consumers? environmental anxiety. 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, Resisting Garbage provides new avenues for evaluating municipal action and fostering practices that will create environmentally meaningful change. 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$zMassachusetts$zBoston 606 $aRecycling (Waste, etc.)$zWashington (State)$zSeattle 606 $aRecycling (Waste, etc.)$zMassachusetts$zBoston 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$zUnited States 606 $aRecycling (Waste, etc.)$zUnited States 610 $awaste management, recycling, waste studies, post-consumer, consumption studies, environmental studies, urban planning, environmental planning, sustainability, sustainable cities. 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal 615 0$aRecycling (Waste, etc.) 615 0$aRecycling (Waste, etc.) 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal 615 0$aRecycling (Waste, etc.) 676 $a363.72/850973 700 $aPollans$b Lily Baum$01687738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819592903321 996 $aResisting garbage$94061448 997 $aUNINA
