Question from 6/11

Something that I feel everyone need to be conscious of is the environmental factors each one of us is contributing to the Earth. We all need to be aware of the amount each of us wastes, each day it is roughly seven pounds a day multiplied by the population equals a lot of trash. The burden of our waste does not only effect the environment, but our wallets as well. Billions of dollars are spent every year, to take care of this problem. The public needs to be aware of ways to change their habits, and what will happen if nothing is done. I don't feel like this is an issue gets as much attention as it deserves. I wish everyone could experience first hand were all of there garbage is going, and the conditions it is creating at the dumps and land fills.
