BOOK
Reusing the Resource: Adventures in Ecological Wastewater Recycling
David Del Porto
$14.86

About this product:
Gardens, greenhouses and groves of trees will gradually replace sewage outfall pipes and leach fields. Imagine using sewage to fertilize ecological tree plantations that provide fuel, fiber, construction materials, wildlife habitats and beautiful landscapes. A small pig farm’s wastewater will grow a tree farm instead of polluting a river. A house’s wastewater will irrigate and fertilize its surrounding landscape. A planted roof will collect and filter rainwater for use in the house.

Reusing the Resource: Adventures in Ecological Wastewater Recycling profiles more than 30 successful ecological wastewater management systems highlighting such techniques as using plants to stabilize, clean, filter and use up wastewater or discharging it to be used again to flush toilets or irrigate plants. The beauty of these scenarios is that they save money and do a better job of protecting public and environmental health, turning what was a disposal challenge into an amenity and a resource.

Written for both engineers and non-technical individuals, Reusing the Resource: Adventures in Wastewater Recycling is inspiring and easy-to-read, with plenty of information showing that the solution to water pollution is to grow it away!

BOOK
Cash for Your Trash: Scrap Recycling in America
Carl A. Zimring
$31.96

About this product:
Over the past two decades, concern about the environment has brought with it a tremendous increase in recycling in the United States and around the world. For many, it has become not only a civic, but also a moral obligation. Long before our growing levels of waste became an environmental concern, however, recycling was a part of everyday life for many Americans, and for a variety of reasons. From rural peddlers who traded kitchen goods for scrap metal to urban children who gathered rags in exchange for coal, individuals have been finding ways to reuse discarded materials for hundreds of years.

In Cash for Your Trash, Carl A. Zimring provides a fascinating history of scrap recycling, from colonial times to the present. Moving beyond the environmental developments that have shaped modern recycling enterprises, Zimring offers a unique cultural and economic portrait of the private businesses that made large-scale recycling possible. Because it was particularly common for immigrants to own or operate a scrap business in the nineteenth century, the history of the industry reveals much about ethnic relationships and inequalities in American cities. Readers are introduced to the scrapworkers, brokers, and entrepreneurs who, like the materials they handled, were often marginalized.

Integrating findings from archival, industrial, and demographic records, Cash for Your Trash demonstrates that over the years recycling has served purposes far beyond environmental protection. Its history and evolution reveals notions of Americanism, the immigrant experience, and the development of small business in this country.

"Zimring goes beyond the limited historical literature on municipal solid wastes. Cash for Your Trash gives us a sweeping account of industrial recycling long before residential recycling became popular. It is a fine contribution to urban and environmental history."—Martin V. Melosi, author of Garbage in the Cities

"Cash for Your Trash is an insightful study that deepens our understanding of environmental history and contemporary environmental issues from the perspectives of business, social, and urban history."—Joel A. Tarr, Carnegie Mellon University
