SenderHannah_toxics are products of power

This essay tells me that toxics are not created without a fallible, possibly self-harming, human agency. The human agent is needed to enter into a relation of power with the environment. It tells us that even in death, the human agent transforms the environment - it does not simply return to the earth, but continues to press its desire to be prolonged upon it. The essay extends our appreciation of when toxicities can be produced beyond human life, beyond the moment of death and into their non-life.
