GREENING THE MEDIA Book Signing Party and Discussion June 20, 2012

Toby Miller and Richard Maxwell, authors of the new book, Greening the Media, are inviting environmentally-aware Angelenos, for an evening of drinks, discussion and book signing. You will never look at your cell phone, TV, or computer the same way after reading this book. Greening the Media, published by Oxford Publishing, is a new way of conceptualizing and undertaking the history and political economy of the media that focuses on the ecological impact of print, cell phones, and everything in-between. Maxwell and Miller reveal the dirty secrets that hide inside our favorite electronic devices, to show how the physical reality of making, consuming, and discarding them is rife with toxic ingredients, poisonous working conditions, and hazardous waste.
