Americans are burying ourselves in our own waste. It's befouling our air, land, waters, food, and bodies. Throwaway Nation takes a look at the pileup of waste in the US, including the problem of plastic, the industry of overmedication, e-waste products, everyday garbage, fast fashion trash, space waste, and other forms of profligacy that serve to make our nation the biggest waster on the planet. Looking at the environment impact of so much garbage, Jeff Dondero explores not just how we got here and where we're headed, but ways in which we might be able to curb the tide.
