TRASH TALK An Eye-Opening Exploration of Our Planet's Dirtiest Problem

Narrator Dani Martineck takes a confessional tone as she narrates author Iris Gottlieb's admission that she's not perfect at handling trash in the way that's best for the environment. Martineck somberly counts off the plastic items Gottlieb finds around her own home. Gottlieb also recalls how single-use safety items like masks and gloves created waste, as well as protection, during the pandemic as she considers trash from every angle. Martineck quickly rattles off the list of contents in Oscar's trash can on "Sesame Street." Listeners might be fascinated to hear about an Atari burial ground or nervous about the practices involved in making electric car batteries as they consider their own contributions to waste and its reduction.
