Garbology Chapter 2

      Edward takes us back in time through the streets of New York City. He shares the situation people were facing during that time and how they took action towards it. He mentions how a group of people made by a Civil War Veteran were able to come up with a plan to make New York City clean from the trash invasion. Even if different types of methods were used, even if they were carried on by many who were inspired by it, they were not able to see how the problem with trash will continue to be there. People have tried to ignored the facts about trashy homes streets etc. but will continue to grow and how creating more landfills and burning or burying the trash is causing the problem to expand more. The ways they used before have not changed they've just been rearranged in the most modern way which has made no difference. In fact burning the chemicals in the trash has made it more deadly that it has become far more dangerous now.

Garbology Chapter 1

      Reading Garbology's introduction soon got me hooked to it. I was aware of the television series of Hoarders were as it shows that many people around the US create a home of trash. Before starting  this book I never understood how dangerous it can be to be surrounded by trash and how we give it so much power. As I approached and read Chapter 1 I was amazed by some of the facts that were given. Edward shares how "building a garbage mountain is difficult, edgy, dangerous work" (Humes21). I never knew working in a landfill of garbage would be extremely dangerous that it can be deadly. I can honestly say that it is scary to know that one day the world will be invaded by all the trash us people throw and create everyday. There has been many methods that have been used yet at the end of the day the question we all get is where will all the trash go. What I find very annoying is how we create this deadly trash that most can not be removed or crushed until it finally disappears.
