The Garbage Crisis: A Global Challenge for Engineers - Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology and Society Randika Jayasinghe

Engineers have a major role to play in designing proper systems that integrate stakeholders, waste system elements, and sustainability aspects of waste management. This book takes an explicitly social and environmental justice stance on waste and attempts to assess the social impact of waste management on those who are also the most economically vulnerable and least powerful in the society.
