The traffic in hazardous waste is a booming business. This book reveals the dangers facing our planet due to a lucrative and scandal-ridden business. The result of four years work by the Center for Investigative Reporting for a television documentary, this book paints a grim picture. Landfills leak. Incinerators spew. The United States produces one ton of hazardous waste per year for each person in the nation. American public awareness is high, but primarily of the not-in-my-backyard variety, leading to a growing international trade in toxic waste shipped across borders. Global Dumping examines the human costs of this shortsighted attitude and asks what we intend to do about it. From Wikipedia: "Bill D. Moyers (born June 5, 1934) is an American journalist and liberal political commentator. He served as White House Press Secretary in the Johnson administration from 1965 to 1967. He also worked as a network TV news commentator for ten years. Moyers has been extensively involved with public broadcasting, producing documentaries and news journal programs. He has won numerous awards and honorary degrees for his investigative journalism and civic activities. He has become well known as a trenchant critic of the U.S. media (particularly modern, corporately structured news media). Moyers is a member of the Bilderberg Group[1] and since 1990 has been president of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy." From Wikipedia: "The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) is a nonprofit news organization based in Berkeley, California. The Center has conducted investigative journalism since 1977. The organization is well known for producing stories that reveal scandals or corruption in government agencies and corporations. In 2010, CIR launched its California Watch reporting project and in 2012, it merged with The Bay Citizen. Its 2012 budget is approximately $11 million. The current business model emphasizes cooperation with partners and other news outlets rather than competition, although the Center charges outlets that publish or broadcast its content."
