Has anyone got readings to recommend in @geography or veins (or such) on spaces for discarding & converting waste or "matter out of place"? Dumps, wastewater treatment, but also maybe jails and potters fields, sorts of things? TIA!

"According to anti-waste charity the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, one truckload of clothing is sent to a landfill or burned every second." Whew.

@bojacobs Hoo boy, I was just reading about this corporate-state collusive shitshow this week. I didn't realize what Anadarko is successor to and had never heard of Kerr-McGee or Karen Silkwood. That's some intense history.

I am pro-nuclear power at this moment in a pretty dispassionate way, but learning about what transpired in the 40s-90s helps me to understand the vigor of the protests against it.
