  Do we feel virtuous for reusing plastic bags and disdain those who don't? At what point does personal waste become public responsibility? Placing these ideas into historical, social, and cultural perspective, this thoughtful book seeks ways to change ecologically destructive practices without recourse to guilt, moralism, or despair.
