Gordon Lippincott, an industrial designer—for the creation of the entire wasteful model of modern consumerism. 4: And although it is understandable that an American author should write a book looking mostly at the problems of America, it nevertheless feels like a missed opportunity. 5: Some of the most interesting parts of the book come towards the end, where he discusses some of the possible solutions—such as Denmark's strategy of burning rubbish to produce electricity, or an Irish scheme to charge shoppers for plastic bags, which led to a 90% drop in their use. Food for thought, and more.
