I chose this video, because it briefly explains how much garbage was produced in the past rispect to the present, why it has increased in recent year and also explains what people want to adopt to reduce waste productions by 2,4 tons by 2025. Finally this video talks about how much waste american people produce compared with the world, despite their population make up less 5% of the global population. In fact they produce nearly 20% of global waste.

About the problem of waste, I have chosen the big problem about the waste of food.
Especially into a house; in fact, of all the food produced in the world, about one third is wasted every year. That’s some 1.3 billion tonnes of food – and of those, 20% is wasted at home.

LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT WASTAGE!!

anxhelolaska05 — 2021-04-09 16:03:27 UTC

Food waste is the loss of food that is still good to be consumed. It is estimated that one third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted every year. I have chosen this topic because I believe it is the one on which it can influence the most and because many believe it does not concern us, instead we are directly responsible.

The Global Waste Problem

parisesamanthakennedy — 2021-04-09 16:32:30 UTC

Even though the waste crisis is a global problem, what happens in less developed countries is almost never talked about. In the next few years, the amount of trash produced in lower income countries will probably double as a result of population growth, creating problems for both the wildlife and humans. I chose this resource because I found fascinating how many problems and threats to humanity we are able to create by simply not caring.

THE NUCLEAR WASTE PROBLEM

marcomartinel — 2021-04-09 18:58:21 UTC

This video talks about the problem of nuclear waste. Although the energy produced by nuclear power plants is one of the cleanest that exists, there are factors to consider. The waste that is produced at the end of the process can emit radioactive energy for many years to come. This radioactive energy is extremely dangerous to humans.

This video is about Kamikatsu, in Japan. The famous town with no waste.

While the rest of Japan has a recycling rate of around 20%, Kamikatsu is around 80%!

As we can see, in the beginning it was difficult to recycle but just in a few years the town became what it is today.

I chose this video because it’s a great example of how easy it is to recycle and everyone can do it with no effort.

THE WASTE PROBLEM

xhaferrierion7 — 2021-04-10 10:04:17 UTC

This video talks about all the problem of nuclear waste.
Most of the waste comes from America, producing more than 2200 tons of waste every year and no one knows what to do to fix it.
The US governament also promised a safe place for nuclear power plants to store their spent fuel. This means that radioactive waste is piling up all over the country.
This is a big problem because the risk of polluting the envornament do not favor good health for citizien, animals and plants.
