By: Samantha Macbride   | Series: Urban and Industrial Environments 
How the success and popularity of recycling has diverted attention from the steep environmental costs of manufacturing the goods we consume and discard.

Recycling is widely celebrated as an environmental success story. The accomplishments of the recycling movement can be seen in municipal practice, a thriving private recycling industry, and widespread public support and participation. In the United States, more people recycle than vote. But, as Samantha MacBride points out in this book, the goals of recycling—saving the earth (and trees), conserving resources, and greening the economy—are still far from being realized. The vast majority of solid wastes are still burned or buried. MacBride argues that, since the emergence of the recycling movement in 1970, manufacturers of products that end up in waste have successfully prevented the implementation of more onerous, yet far more effective, forms of sustainable waste policy. Recycling as we know it today generates the illusion of progress while allowing industry to maintain the status quo and place responsibility on consumers and local government.

MacBride offers a series of case studies in recycling that pose provocative questions about whether the current ways we deal with waste are really the best ways to bring about real sustainability and environmental justice. She does not aim to debunk or discourage recycling but to help us think beyond recycling as it is today.

Awesome Flip Flops
Size: 15, Color: Bright Pink
I love these flip flops. They're super comfortable & a great color. But the biggest thing for me is how well they fit. I'm very happy with my purchase

Nice at first but peeled later
Size: 7 Wide, Color: Dark Brown
The item looks gorgeous and was comfortable, however, after getting some water on it, and walking a bunch, the material started peeling up. I now may need to toss them.

Run Small
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
WARNING ⚠️ These run on the small side. I am between an 8.5 and 9 in women's shoes and these are size 9 and I am still not convinced I shouldn't buy the 9.5 (something I've never had to do). They have a little cushion, a little tired on the bottom, and are comfortable. The price can't be beat!
