Looks at the implications of the growing need for dumping grounds for the waste generated by the manufacture of new consumer goods and the discarding of old ones. Examines the globalization of industrial waste disposal, including toxic materials, and the shifting of the burden to less-developed nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
