How much paper does the average American use? How much of it can be recycled? how much of it is recycled? for one thing America is supposed to be the number one consumer in waste, so how is it Mexico?ĭo you know how much space the world's landfills currently use? and how much waste is added daily? Do you have stats for total waste (commercial, industrial included?) produced by an average westerner per year? Do you know how much industrial waste is produced for one iPod? Or a laptop? thanks for the info! I'm doing a research paper on this garbage issue and some of the information in this article is different from all the other sources i have been reviewing. Wow these statistics are amazing! I have just completed a Geography assignment on household waste management and my house produces 482kg every year which is less than one American! that is crazy! We should recycle more instead of throwing it away, or if we see trash on the ground we should pick it up. It is time for the food industry to step up and do something about it instead. Am I supposed to starve now? All the food that I buy is packaged in some way or another. I find some of the comments/suggestions on here kind of funny. To anon76193, Post 26 who says "America is a continent" Wrong! North America is a continent. Buying something new requires the extraction and destruction of a lot of resources, not to mention the destruction of our environment in extracting, hauling and manufacturing, packaging and shipping the item. I recycle at least 75 percent of my household waste. I'm currently working on a project promoting the thrift store industry as a method of wast reduction. Not only is it possible, but profitable as well. I challenge anyone to go a whole year without buying anything that's newly manufactured. I'm on the environmental team at my school, and this stuff always makes me mad because people can recycle. People do not think that we are all killing the earth slowly.
Otherwise, some of those leaflets would probably be pretty convincing.
If i could throw two kinds of people in the garbage movie#
If you pay attention to it, then the world would be like that movie "Wall-e", so the only ones killing the planet are those who are spending a whole lot of time paying attention to it.
I am learning about this and it has changed my thoughts on throwing away my rubbish completely. One way of contributing is by not having kids. Peace all, hemp is a renewable, smart resource that has many, many uses. If you are done with it give it away, someone day could be made. I feel we all need to be conscious of our surroundings and do the obvious always.
