More on Outsmart Waste: “It is undeniable that the Earth’s resources are limited and that human-created waste is a growing threat; Szaky’s book offers useful strategies that are available to anyone.” –Publishers Weekly

In Outsmart Waste, Tom Szaky demonstrates that there is value in every kind of garbage, from used chewing gum to juice pouches to cigarette butts. Szaky’s reimagining of waste into new useful resources ensures that you’ll never think about garbage the same way again.

More on Ice Cream Social: “As this fine telling of Ben & Jerry’s story indicates, it’s harder than it looks to integrate consumer capitalism and political integrity. There are lessons here: hard ones and of course some sweet ones.” –Bill McKibben, author of Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist

Ice Cream Social is the first book to tell the full, inside story of the inspiring rise, tragic mistakes, devastating fall, determined recovery, and ongoing renewal of one of the most iconic mission-driven companies in the world, Ben & Jerry’s.
