WASTED How We Squander Time, Money, and Natural Resources-and What We Can Do About It

Dan Woren's wonderful pitch and phrasing patterns provide a steady supply of positive energy to his narration. Lifted by his pleasing tone and flawless interpretations, his effortless performance makes this well-researched audiobook easy to hear and absorb. The authors deliver hard-hitting facts about the rapidly increasing industrial and consumer waste we create and the many ways we squander opportunities to achieve more efficient lives and a more orderly world. Whether it's carelessness with metals, plastic, or petroleum waste or impulsive and thoughtless shopping habits, consumers and complacent governments are allowing waste to become a growing problem around the globe. Though a message like this could have sounded like a scolding, Woren's quiet optimism makes this troubling information sound like a motivating call for change. T.W.
