Istoriia musora - Sil'gi K.

The problem of human relations and his waste has existed since time immemorial. This book tells what adventures and vicissitudes await those who deal with household waste, tells about their luck and adversity. Here are the testimonies of human efforts to free from the remnants of life, reminds of how much imagination, ingenuity is shown to extract from all this a fraction of useful resources and use them, whether in rich, poor or developing countries. Garbage kills, threatens to engulf entire cities, change the urban landscape, heat and illuminate dwellings, ensure the survival of millions of offended fates, create all sorts of "small fisheries", fatten herds of pigs, play with children, give deceptive, but still a way out of loneliness for prisoners, serve as a source of inspiration for crazy and artists, and even the basis of festive spectacles. Catherine de Silgi is a prominent environmentalist.
