Description
This Czech-language book by investigative journalist Alexander Clapp examines the global conflicts surrounding the disposal of millions of tonnes of waste. Landfills around the world are overflowing, while disputes over rubbish range from border skirmishes to the transportation of waste across thousands of kilometres. Over two years, Clapp travelled across five continents and discovered that much of what people throw away leads a secret second life: it is transported, sold, resold and smuggled from one country to another, often with devastating consequences for the world’s poorest nations. The book explores how and why, over the past forty years, our rubbish has created a vast global economy worth many billions of dollars.
