The Unbearable Trash: Notes from the War Correspondent of the Trash War

This book is the notes of a war correspondent of the trash war, an indifferent witness to the onslaught of garbage on careless humanity. Its author, journalist Anna Titova, explores Russian and global practices of waste management. What is better - safely burying, correctly burning, or recycling? What measures are different countries' governments taking to contain the common enemy? What are the successes of the resistance movement and guerrilla warfare on the ground? Is it even possible for global capitalism to profit from the destruction of a common enemy? This book contains no intrusive recommendations about how to make your life and the world around you cleaner and more environmentally friendly. There are also no ready-made recipes for overcoming the waste crisis in Russia and other countries. However, through this book, you will finally be able to understand whether it makes sense for you and each of us to get personally involved in this war.
