What used to be sent to the local dump now may move hundreds of miles by truck and barge to its final resting place. Virtually all forms of pollution migrate, subjected to natural forces such as wind and water currents. The movement of garbage, however, is under human control. Its patterns of migration reveal much about power sharing among state, local, and national institutions, about the Constitution s protection of trash transport as a commercial activity, and about competing notions of social fairness. In "Garbage In, Garbage Out, "Vivian Thomson looks at Virginia s status as the second-largest importer of trash in the United States and uses it as a touchstone for exploring the many controversies around trash generation and disposal. Political conflicts over waste management have been felt at all levels of government. Local governments who want to manage their own trash have fought other local governments hosting huge landfills that depend on trash generated hundreds of miles away. State governments have tried to avoid becoming the dumping grounds for cities hundreds of miles away. The constitutional questions raised in these battles have kept interstate trash transport on Congress s agenda since the early 1990s. Whether the resulting legislative proposals actually address our most critical garbage-related problems, however, remains in question. Thomson sheds much-needed light on these problems. Within the context of increased interstate trash transport and the trend toward privatization of waste management, she examines the garbage issue from a number of perspectives--including the links between environmental justice and trash management, a critical evaluation of the theoretical and empirical relationship between economic growth and environmental improvement, and highlighting the ways in which waste management practices in the US differ from those in the European Union and Japan. Thomson then provides specific, substantive recommendations for our own policymakers. Everything eventually becomes trash. As we explore the long, often surprising, routes our garbage takes, we begin to understand that it is something more than a mere nuisance that regularly "disappears" from our curbside. Rather, trash generation and management reflect patterns of consumption, political choices over whether garbage is primarily pollution or commerce, the social distribution of environmental risk, and how our daily lives compare with those of our counterparts in other industrialized nations." 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$xTransportation$zUnited States 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aWaste disposal sites$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aInterstate commerce$zUnited States 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal$xManagement. 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal$xTransportation 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWaste disposal sites$xManagement. 615 0$aInterstate commerce 676 $a363.72/85560973 700 $aThomson$b Vivian E.$f1956-$01864987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959374303321 996 $aGarbage in, garbage out$94471974 997 $aUNINA
