About this item
Most people spend a good deal of time and a little more than half of their energy, money and resources in an effort to make their homes more efficient, for both themselves and the planet. But five days a week nearly all of America goes to work, and some spend almost as much time at their place of work as they do at home. With more than 30 million of these workplaces are small businesses, and 18,500 firms of 500 employees or more, the workplace is largely responsible for the other half of the consumption of resources in the United States. More and more people are becoming progressively interested and committed to contributing to the health and "greening" of their workplace, as well as the world at large. Although many people desire to do their part and play a role in the conservation of energy and resources at their workplace most think that it is harder to conserve at work due to circumstances beyond their control, and aren't aware of how, which or in what ways they can contribute to change.

It's a fun and insightful piece about the ways in which we produce the most garbage in the world--and beyond. It covers everything from the history of trash and littering, to the waste of air, land, and water, the excesses of food, electronics, charity, to paper and plastics, and meds, and the sometimes bizarre and bodacious spending habits of our government and its elected officials--the spastic spending called the "pork barrel." It's a fun romp through our throwaways that will both amuse, edify, and annoy.Check out my fac ebook pages and my blog: https://v4.simplesite.com/#/pages/442071344? editmode=true#anchor442071344
