Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage

            Rather than considering much on the personality and the role that littering plays in promoting waste, Rodgers discusses how such consideration on personal littering has widely served the interests of the organizations who actively endorsed the notion that garbage delinquent is ambitious by personal actions and not the universal reasons. While it is significant problem when many people and the organizations choose not to recycle their garbage.  These people are not aware that recycling serves limited functions as a way of waste and it does little to limit production which is a fact that has inevitability not been lost on industry.  Gone tomorrow gives an essential assessment into the predicament of waste in the society but it still remain unconsidered in the society (Rodgers, 289).

             It makes little exertions to produce an alternative to battle the business management of garbage.  It is not a shock that America is the first pro0ducer of garbage in the universe.  Most of the Americans throw almost 4.5 pounds of trash daily.  Garbage has also been a problem also to the Pacific Ocean which is exposed with wastes of plastics according to Rodgers.  The manufacture of garbage has been doubled over the past many years but the trash has been hidden making the consideration of recycling fade away.  Rodgers insists that this condition happened through a configuration of industrial and promotion powers. The book by Rodgers mixes a history of garbage collection with a politically aware scrutiny of how social and economic powers have formed huge garbage domination. Rodgers creates a sense to the narrative as the garbage story is both charming and attractive; she stresses that with her talking about garbage, that she wanted to talk about the market works and its connection to industry and environment (Rodgers, 291).
