Greetings! With Thanksgiving around the corner, it's the time of year to ... look at people's trash? A fellow librarian brought my attention to an interesting project called Waste in Focus, which aims to focus attention on the issue of waste here in the United States. The creative team behind the project, Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio, used photography to examine what happened to the trash of eight American families over the course of a week. Each photograph is accompanied by data on each family's trash. The photos, which they managed to make aesthetically pleasing, could be a great way to start a conversation about the environment, or as a resource for the unit on Nature's Delicate Balance. The website is sponsored by Glad, but the project was independently developed and produced.
