Product Description

Review

"This unique Canadian perspective is both informative and instructive. Garbage isn't just garbage anymore." (Jane Snyder Alternatives)

"Make Giants of Garbage your guidebook for corporate information and political strategy. Highly readable, Giants explains the struggle between expanding multinational waste dynasties and the shrinking power of public-municipal waste management systems. Crooks argues convincingly. Crooks exposes scandals, betrayals, and corporate takeovers. It will inspire even the fatigued among us to remain committed to environmental solutions." (Rhonda Hustler The Beaver)
