Out of sight, out of mind ... Into our trash cans go dead batteries, dirty diapers, bygone burritos, broken toys, tattered socks, eight-track cassettes, scratched CDs, banana peels.... But where do these things go next? In a country that consumes and then casts off more and more, what actually happens to the things we throw away? In Garbage Land, acclaimed science writer Elizabeth Royte leads us on the wild adventure that begins once our trash hits the bottom of the can. Along the way, we meet an odor chemist who explains why trash smells so bad; garbage fairies and recycling gurus; neighbors of massive waste dumps; CEOs making fortunes by encouraging waste or encouraging recycling-often both at the same time; scientists trying to revive our most polluted places; fertilizer fanatics and adventurers who kayak amid sewage; paper people, steel people, aluminum people, plastic people, and even a guy who swears by recycling human waste. With a wink and a nod and a tightly clasped nose, Royte takes us on a bizarre cultural tour through slime, stench, and heat-in other words, through the back end of our ever-more supersized lifestyles. By showing us what happens to the things we've "disposed of," Royte reminds us that our decisions about consumption and waste have a very real impact-and that unless we undertake radical change, the garbage we create will always be with us: in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we consume. Radiantly written and boldly reported, Garbage Land is a brilliant exploration into the soiled heart of the American trash can.Binding Type: Paperback

This stuff works!!
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
This set has been the absolute best shampoo, lotion, and ointment for my little one going through a tough spell of baby acne. The ingredient list is clean, and worked miracles quickly.
Baby’s skin was so soft, the redness disappeared within days. After just the second wash I could really notice a difference. Thank you Tubby Todd!

Perfect gentle routine for newborn skin
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size, Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
We started using the Tubby Todd 3-Step Baby Bath & Skincare set when our baby was just weeks old, and it has been amazing for delicate newborn skin.
The Hair + Body Wash is extremely gentle and doesn’t irritate or dry out the skin. It rinses clean and has a very mild, pleasant scent.
The Everyday Lotion keeps our baby’s skin soft and smooth without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s perfect for daily use after bath time.
The All-Over Ointment is great for extra-dry areas, especially around the cheeks and legs. It creates a protective barrier that helps prevent dryness, especially in cooler weather.
We appreciate that this brand avoids harsh chemicals and focuses on clean, baby-safe ingredients. This routine has become part of our nightly bath time and has kept our newborn’s skin healthy and moisturized.
Would absolutely recommend this to new parents looking for a safe, gentle skincare routine for their baby.

It didn’t work for my baby
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
Update on my review: gave it 5 stars because the customer service is great!!! Thank you uso much! I’m sorry this product didn’t work out for my little one. But thank you for having a great customer service!
I’ve been using the products for about a week now and haven’t noticed any improvement in my baby’s skin. I do appreciate that the ingredients are clean, fragrance-free, and that the ointment is thick and suitable for eczema. However, I’ve seen other reviews mentioning results within a few days, and unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience. For me, it wasn’t worth the money. At first I thought my baby had ringworm but I took him to his pediatrician and she said it’s a mild eczema, I don’t want to do steroid lotion, I purchased this hoping it would help and it hasn’t

Before and after baby newborn acne
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size, Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
As a first-time mom, I was really stressed when my newborn developed baby acne. The doctor told me it’s normal, but it was still hard to see. I tried other products like Nutella, but unfortunately, nothing seemed to help.
Then I decided to try this product — both the face ointment and the body lotion — and I’m so glad I did. My baby actually loves it! Unlike other lotions, it doesn’t feel cold on her skin, so she no longer cries when I apply it.
The biggest difference was how quickly it worked. Within just 2 days, her acne improved so much. I was honestly surprised and relieved.
I definitely recommend this product to other parents. For reference, my baby is Asian, and it worked very well for her skin.
