You are what you throw away. Upon completion of Elizabeth Royte’s 'Garbage Land: On the Secret Trail of Trash,' the reader finds his or herself desperately sorting recyclables from the trash bin, and grocery shopping with an increasingly discerning eye. Royte’s beautifully written investigation of America’s trash can begins in her own kitchen and ends in the realization that our daily decisions regarding consumption and waste remain with us, even after dragging our trash bags out to the dumpster.
