It's clogging our rivers and littering our streets. The Pacific Ocean contains a great garbage patch three times the size of France. Our junk is even orbiting the earth. No wonder there are microplastics in our bloodstreams.    Waste, a problem we've ignored for too long, is now a global crisis - and it's getting worse.    From the landfills of New Delhi, to the second-hand clothing markets of Ghana and the overflowing sewers of Britain, join Oliver Franklin-Wallis as he reveals the dirty truth about the global waste industry.   In this eye-opening and ultimately hopeful book, he meets some of the heroic people trying to make a difference and explains precisely how we can create a better, less wasteful world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470363287773,"sku":"9781398505476","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781398505476.jpg?v=1720184797","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781398505476","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
