미국 뉴욕 옆에 있는 이스립이라는 조그만 도시에 커다란 문제가 발생했습니다. 쓰레기 매립장이 꽉 차서 더 이상 쓰레기를 매립할 곳이 없어진 것입니다. 다른 도시의 쓰레기 매립장에 버리려고 했지만 너무 비싼 비용을 요구하는 바람에 이러지도, 저러지도 못하게 되었지요. 그때 지노 스트로폴리노라는 사업가가 좋은 방법을 제안했는데, 그것은 쓰레기들을 커다란 바지선에 실어서 미국 남쪽에 있는 노스캐롤라이나의 넓은 농지에 묻어버리는 것이었습니다. 농장주는 돈을 받고 자기 땅을 빌려주기로 했지요. 견인선이 무려 3,168톤이나 되는 쓰레기를 실은 바지선을 끌고 노스캐롤라이나에 도착했을 때, 주민들의 신고로 경찰선이 출동해서 막는 바람에 쓰레기를 실은 바지선은 항구에 접근할 수가 없었습니다. 그 이후 견인선은 쓰레기가 쌓여 있는 바지선을 끌고 버릴 곳을 찾아서 뉴올리언즈, 멕시코, 벨리즈, 텍사스, 플로리다 등 미국 남쪽 지역과 중남미 국가들을 떠돌아 다녔습니다만, 가는 곳마다 주민들의 반대로 쓰레기를 내리지 못하고 결국 처음 떠났던 이스립의 항구로 되돌아 오게 되었습니다. 무려 60일간 6천마일에 달하는 긴 여정이었지요. 하지만 이미 돈을 지불했던 이스립에서도 쓰레기를 다시 받는 것을 거부해버리자, 쓰레기 바지선은 오도가도 못하고 바다에 머물러 있어야 했습니다. 더운 날씨 때문에 쓰레기는 고약한 냄새를 풍기고...

과연 이 쓰레기의 운명은 어떻게 될까요?

1987년에 실제로 발생했던 실화를 바탕으로 만든 책이며, 환경 보존과 재활용의 중요성, 그리고 자원 낭비에 대한 경고의 내용을 담고 있습니다.

재활용품, 잡동사니, 찰흙 등을 이용해서 모든 장면들을 만든 후 사진을 찍어서 완성한 그림책이며, 뉴욕타임즈의 최우수 그림책상을 수상했습니다.

Book Description
This New York Times Best Illustrated Book is a mostly true and completely stinky story that is sure to make you say, “Pee-yew!” Teaching environmental awareness has become a national priority, and this hilarious book (subtly) drives home the message that we can’t produce unlimited trash without consequences.
Before everyone recycled . . .
There was a town that had 3,168 tons of garbage and nowhere to put it.
What did they do?
Enter the Garbage Barge!
Amazing art built out of junk, toys, and found objects by Red Nose Studio makes this the perfect book for Earth Day or any day, and photos on the back side of the jacket show how the art was created.


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
A fictionalized account of real events that occurred in 1987, this story will convince young readers to take their recycling efforts more seriously. When Islip, NY, has nowhere to put 3168 tons of garbage, the town officials decide that shipping them south is the right thing to do, so a tugboat towing a garbage-laden barge takes it to North Carolina. But North Carolina won't allow the vessel to dock. It goes on to New Orleans, but again is denied harbor rights. Then it is on to Mexico, Belize, Texas, Florida, and back to New York. The garbage is ripening all along the way. Now even Islip refuses to take it back. Finally a judge orders Brooklyn to take it and incinerate it, 162 days after the barge started its journey. Islip is ordered to take the remains to their landfill. The illustrations are photographs of objects made from garbage. The people, full of personality and expression, were made from polymer clay, and wire, wood scraps, and leftover materials of all kinds were used for the tugboat and barge. The inside of the paper jacket explains how the art was done. This title should be a part of every elementary school ecology unit. - Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI


Booklist
Winter, whose You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?! (2009) was graced by some of the year’s most dazzling artwork, returns with another uniquely illustrated picture book. He takes the story from a 1987 incident in which a Long Island town decided to send more than 3,000 tons of trash down to North Carolina. In Winter’s fictionalized account, Cap’m Duffy of the tugboat Break of Dawn is saddled with hauling the garbage down south but gets turned away from port after port, all the way down to Belize. While Winter’s folksy, storyteller’s voice captures the scruffy spirit of the adventure with plenty of humor, the artwork by Red Nose Studio steals this show. Photographs of polymer-clay models and found materials (including, you guessed it, piles of trash) have the same uncanny-but-fun allure of Claymation videos, and if it’s not exactly endearing, that’s fine - a book about a stinky pile of garbage has no business being prettied up. Just in case the moral isn’t clear, a buoy helpfully spells it out, “Don’t make so much garbage!!!”
