Our final paper comes from Dario Fazzi, from Leiden, on the incineration of toxic waste at sea and the transnational efforts to ban it in the 1970s and 80s
Thank you to everyone who gave a talk, asked a question or came and listened at EHW this year. Looking forward to doing it all again sometime, and to meeting many of you in Bristol this summer @ESEH2021#envhist
We are launching a totes awesome conference sustainability initiative: a TOTE BAG AMNESTY. We are asking for people to donate their old conference totes to us, we’ll jazz them up with our conference logo, and you can repurpose them out in the world!
