Book Description
Thousands of miles are embedded in almost everything we do and touch and purchase, but we're scarcely aware of it. A cup of Starbucks coffee materializes in front of us without any signs of the 30,000 miles it has travelled. Behind the scenes, there are grinding commutes, a violent death every 15 minutes on an American highway, and a crushing impact on the environment.
By delving into one week in the life of his family in suburban California--their commutes, traffic jams, grocery stops, and online shopping excursions--the author of first-year favorite Garbology reveals the truths and mounting challenges behind every trip we take and every click we make.
