#1 Bestseller in waste management Stop Garbage sheds some light on the world of waste and recycling, topics often filled with questions for most readers. Do we really know why it's important to recycle and the consequences of not doing it? What environmental impact does our behavior have? What trends will prevail in waste management during the next decade? Far from being a technical book, Stop Garbage introduces us to the field of waste and recycling in a clear and enjoyable way. It deals with garbage or waste, whatever you want to call it, but in it you will also find a kidnapping, a destroyer, successes, food waste, the biggest dump in the world, the first incinerator, questions about money and employment or riddles: how many times can you fill the Camp Nou Stadium with one year's waste? How many trees do we save from felling if we recycle paper? What's the best waste in the world? Added to this, multimedia content, articles and videos make up a didactic book of reading which is, without a shadow of a doubt, entertaining. After years of experience in the sector, Alex Pascual (Barcelona, 1976) brings us closer to the key concepts that can help us to formulate our own opinion on the subject. A book full of vital data as well as funny anecdotes that will trigger successive reflections on waste management, undoubtedly one of the pillars of the contemporary and future commitment to the environment.

The earnest warnings of an impending "solid waste crisis" that permeated the 1980s provided the impetus for the widespread adoption of municipal recycling programs. Since that time America has witnessed a remarkable rise in public participation in recycling activities, including curbside collection, drop-off centers, and commercial and office programs. Recently, however, a backlash against these programs has developed. A vocal group of "anti-recyclers" has appeared, arguing that recycling is not an economically efficient strategy for addressing waste management problems. In Why Do We Recycle? Frank Ackerman examines the arguments for and against recycling, focusing on the debate surrounding the use of economic mechanisms to determine the value of recycling. Based on previously unpublished research conducted by the Tellus Institute, a nonprofit environmental research group in Boston, Massachusetts, Ackerman presents an alternative view of the theory of market incentives, challenging the notion that setting appropriate prices and allowing unfettered competition will result in the most efficient level of recycling. Among the topics he considers are: externality issues -- unit pricing for waste disposal, effluent taxes, virgin materials subsidies, advance disposal fees the landfill crisis and disposal facility siting container deposit ("bottle bill") legislation environmental issues that fall outside of market theory calculating costs and benefits of municipal recycling programs life-cycle analysis and packaging policy -- Germany's "Green Dot" packaging system and producer responsibility the impacts of production in extractive and manufacturing industries composting and organic waste management economics of conservation, and material use and long-term sustainability Ackerman explains why purely economic approaches to recycling are incomplete and argues for a different kind of decisionmaking, one that addresses social issues, future as well as present resource needs, and non-economic values that cannot be translated into dollars and cents. Backed by empirical data and replete with specific examples, the book offers valuable guidance for municipal planners, environmental managers, and policymakers responsible for establishing and implementing recycling programs. It is also an accessible introduction to the subject for faculty, students, and concerned citizens interested in the social, economic, and ethical underpinnings of recycling efforts.
