Such a waste

Our planet Earth is a huge garbage dump! The cause is a combination of various factors, the most crucial of them being the constant population growth of around 250,000 people a day. In addition, unrestrained consumer behavior in the industrialized countries, mismanagement of the raw materials available as well as unprofessional and illegal disposal of all kinds of waste; are causing serious consequences in some parts of the world.

Approximately, 2 billion tons of household waste, unmeasurable quantities of industrial and all sorts of waste are recorded every day, presenting enormous challenges for all of us. The consequences of all the mentioned factors are a serious pollution of rivers, soil and air that result in increasingly severe natural disasters, disease, poverty and hunger. If this behavioral development is not stopped, the amount of waste will increase by more than 70 percent by 2050.
