Article Response: Terry Gross

I’ve just recently finished reading the interview between Terry Gross and Edward Humes. Many questions were asked by Gross. But what I don’t understand is why she was asking the same questions that were answered in Garbology. I mean didn’t she read it? As I started to read I noticed that right off the bat she filled us with information. Taking about how much trash each person throws away and that we the Americans that won the “trash race”. Meaning that we have consumed so much trash that compared to other countries we’re the biggest consumers of trash. I already knew that because I started reading Garbology and right from the beginning he talks about this. They continue discussing about the Garbage Mountain and how it has accumulated so fast. She asks him many questions about what’s in the trash? What can we do to solve this? Etc. I think Gross could of came up with better questions to ask Humes. Because after reading this article I don’t really think I found something “new” all of what they talk about is in Garbology.
