Planet and Pages, the Medford Public Library’s Climate Change Book Club, meets to discuss “Wasteland” by journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis. The author leads readers on a shocking journey inside the waste industry — the secretive multi-billion dollar world that underpins the modern economy, quietly profiting from what we leave behind. With this mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and occasionally terrifying investigation, Franklin-Wallis tells a new story of humanity based on what we leave behind, and along the way, he shares a blueprint for building a healthier, more sustainable world — before we’re all buried in trash. Register through the library’s online calendar.

Led by green entrepreneur and Trove Green Provisions owner Clare Flaherty, the club reads both non-fiction and fiction books about climate change and explores topics such as global warming, plastic pollution, environmental inequity, and proposed solutions to combat their effects. Trove Green Provisions is a people and planet friendly product and refilling store offering provisions and services to help you live a lower waste and greener life.
