This book was so much more than I was expecting! Trashed is Jam-packed with incredibly interesting and horrifically devastating facts about the the nation's garbage output and the damage it's doing to our environment. In between these facts are the lives of a group of young garbageman and their day-to-day duties lugging trash, beautifully illustrated and written by Derf Backderf. I laughed often. For sure this book will make you run to your backyard to build a compost heap. I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning about our throwaway culture, anyone who loves graphic novels, and anyone who needs to be reminded that their job isn't that bad, that it could always be worse.
