(2) K-3 In 1987, a barge loaded with 3,186 tons of garbage takes off from New York for North Carolina. Public outcry at numerous ports of call denies the barge permission to land. However, the episode wakens a national consciousness about reuse and recycling, further explored in an entertaining and informative back-matter discussion. McCarthy's illustrations set the historical scene with her trademark caricaturish bug-eyed characters. Bib.
