Eco Book Club: Year of No Garbage

  • Teaneck Public Library (map)

In Year of No Garbage, Eve O. Schaub, stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all. For an entire year. And- as it turns out- during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken, and single stream recycling is a lie. That flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable. That plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere. Year of No Garbage is Super Size Me meets the environmental movement. Join us at the Teaneck Public Library to discuss how you can make some earth-friendly changes in 2024
