Summary

Waterways Choke Algae explores the often-underestimated role of detergents in eutrophication, the excessive enrichment of waterways that leads to harmful algal blooms. It reveals how common household cleaning products, particularly those containing phosphates and nitrates, contribute to this growing environmental problem.  
The book highlights the link between increased detergent use since the mid-20th century and the rise of algal blooms, which deplete oxygen and harm aquatic life. It provides a comprehensive analysis, drawing from environmental reports and scientific studies, to demonstrate how detergents impact water quality and aquatic ecosystems.  
The book examines the chemical composition of detergents and their breakdown in water, investigating how phosphates and nitrates fuel algal growth. It presents case studies of impacted waterways globally, showing the direct correlation between detergent use and algal bloom frequency.  
The book stands out by focusing specifically on detergents, an often-overlooked source of water pollution compared to industrial and agricultural runoff. It progresses logically, beginning with the basics of eutrophication and detergent chemistry, then delving into the effects of specific chemicals and potential solutions like phosphate-free detergents and advanced wastewater treatment technologies.  
Ultimately, Waterways Choke Algae advocates for a reevaluation of detergent formulations, regulatory policies, and consumer behavior to mitigate the devastating consequences of eutrophication. It offers valuable insights for environmental science students, policymakers, and concerned citizens seeking to understand and address the challenges facing our waterways, encouraging informed choices and actions towards a cleaner future.

    The time has come to reimagine our relationship to the environment before it is too late.As wildfires char the American West, extreme weather transforms landscapes, glaciers retreat, and climate zones shift, we are undeniably experiencing the effects of the climate crisis in more and more destructive ways. Climate change is impacting every inhabited region of the world, but there is much we can still do.Unsettling explores human impacts on the environment through science, popular culture, personal narrative, and landscape. Using the stories of animals, landscapes, and people who have exhibited resilience in the face of persistent colonization across the North American continent, science writer Elizabeth Weinberg explores how climate change is a direct result of white supremacy, colonialism, sexism, and heteronormativity. Travel through the deep sea; along Louisiana’s vanishing bayous; down the Colorado, Mississippi, and Potomac rivers; and over the Cascade Mountains, and examine how we as humans, particularly white humans, have drawn a stark line between human and animal, culture and nature, in order to exploit anything and anyone we find useful. With gorgeous and pointed prose, Weinberg weaves together science, personal essay, history, and pop culture to propose a new way of thinking about climate change—one that is rooted in queerness and antiracism.
