Book

The book that my company read was urban and rural waste in china. This book talks about how china manages their waste, and what you can find. If you were to look in a poor persons trash you would most likely find more of the organic waste, because the poor are going to recycle their trash that they have used and they are going to use it smartly. When you look in the trash of a rich persons you are going to find more of the inorganic products because the rich don't realize what they have, and they are going to just waste what they do have And go Out and just buy more of what they threw out.  This book defined certain words throughout the book, explaining what each word meant and how they are used in the world. The author explained things that happened in china while he was there which was cool, and made me visualize things more.
