| Abstract | Stinky. Smelly. And no one wanted it. One sunny afternoon in 1987, a garbage barge named the Mobro 4000 left a New York port to find a place to dump its icky contents. But from North Carolina to Alabama to Mississippi to Louisiana, the barge was turned away. And day to day it only got smellier. For months, 3,186 tons of trash at sea were turned away by port after port. Where would the barge go? All That Trash is the true story of the infamous Mobro 4000 garbage barge and how it became a national sensation and raised environmental awareness about the need to recycle. Award-winning author and illustrator Meghan McCarthy tells a true story about the journey of a smelly barge and how it changed the way most people see trash. -- From dust jacket. |
