Garbology Chapter 7

This chapter was odd for me because I never knew that trash could be tracked! I thought it was just trash, like it didn't matter where it went. So they would put a electronic tracker in the trash and locate where it would end up from what I took of it. Seattle is very eco-friendly and it was interesting to find pout that they recycle about 50 percent due to the Trash Track as it states in Garbology, page 148. There were three ways the trash technology would work and Humes was very descriptive about it. So Humes explains how many electronics were disposed and as I looked at the chart, I realized most of them had a high rate of disposed. Very little was recycled, that was very sad to hear. all these things that spend tons of money on aren't even being reused. So we are basically buying things to just throw away later. Just for temporary entertainment.
