Edward Humes is a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and author of 17 nonfiction books, including the landmark "Garbology" and "Mississippi Mud."

In this entertaining, eye-opening, and solutions-based talk, Humes exposes how waste is our biggest problem and how solving our inherent trashiness can fix our economy, our energy costs, our national security, and even our traffic jams—all while helping slow climate change and making us healthier, happier, and more prosperous. Humes's effective and remarkably simple strategies will inspire everyone, from individuals and local organizations to large corporations and government institutions—to reduce and eliminate waste at all levels of society.

Author talk begins at 7 p.m. Come early at 5:30 p.m. for a free public reception, celebrating 35 years of recycling in Jackson Hole.

A book signing will follow the talk.

Join us for the last in this series of sound hikes on the Ucross Ranch.

"Confluences" is an emplaced sound experience created by Ucross artist-alumni Teri Rueb and Laurids Sonne. It is available via a free downloadable app (iOS and Android) that visitors can run on their mobile phones while walking the land. Interactive areas of sound play as visitors wander, revealing a sonic landscape of sounds recorded over three years that include voices of the Ucross community, former artists-in-residence, local residents of Clear Creek Valley, and field recordings taken in different seasons.

During the hike, Ucross staff will walk with visitors on a private trail on the ranch as interactive areas of sound play. The hikes will be less than two hours; we will meet at the Ucross Art Gallery at 9 a.m. for an introduction and orientation before caravanning to the trail (about two minutes drive).
