We are so excited to be able to bring another author to campus to talk about garbage!

Wednesday, February 25 at Noon in the Library
Talk by Heather Rogers

Heather Rogers, author of Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage, will give a free talk about household garbage in the United States.

Ms. Rogers is a writer, journalist, and filmmaker, and has written on the environmental effects of mass consumption for the New York Times Magazine, The Nation, Utne and Architecture.

Her first book, Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage, traces the history and politics of household garbage in the United States. It was named an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times Book Review and a nonfiction choice by The Guardian.
