Recycling Lies and Plastic Problems: What I Learned from a Year of No Garbage
A talk with author Eve O. Schaub

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2024
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Maple Corner Community Center

Internationally published author and humorist EVE O. SCHAUB challenged her family to attempt the seemingly impossible: to live in the modern world, for an entire year, without creating any trash at all. The resulting memoir, YEAR OF NO GARBAGE, has been featured in THE NEW YORKER, and was described by BILL MCKIBBEN as filled with "humor and grace." Through storytelling and humor, Schaub reveals shocking truths she learned along the way about garbage, plastics, and recycling industry. This talk will trace the high and low points of Schaub's family's ZERO WASTE journey, focusing on lessons learned and where we go from here.
