Nonfiction. Environmental Studies. Political Studies. United States History. Introduction by actor and environmentalist Jeff Bridges. WASTING LIBBY chronicles decades of neglect by state and federal agencies, which allowed the Grace Corporation to reap millions in profits from the largest vermiculite mine in the world, while knowingly exposing generations of Montana residents to fatal levels of asbestos-contaminated dust. Libby's story, which culminates in the 2009 criminal trial of the corporation's executives, is ultimately the tale of the families who fought Grace for justice, who refused to sacrifice their dignity even as they lost their lives.
