March 02, 2006: Trash Talk ?North Americans account for only 8% of the world?s population yet we produce 50% of the world?s garbage and consume more than 35% of the its resources. Production processes in our society result in 94% of the materials extracted turned to waste?? In light of such dire, disturbing statistics as this, the book Trash Talk by Dave and Lillian Brummet is a most welcomed resource for simple, easily assimilated time and money saving habits that actually make an appreciable difference in our planet?s overall health. Dave and Lillian have drawn from generations of practical experience and knowledge in compiling this extremely informative and helpful manual. They generously provide helpful advice and successful projects in Trash Talk in such a practical and affable manner that this book is not so much a call to arms as it is a call to conscientiousness. Although the Brummets may be passionate about talking trash, Trash Talk is a real treasure! Review by R. deVoll Fisher for deVoll Reviews Feb. 2006
