Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Refuse

Waste is killing us. Literally.

Our landfills grow and even though we recycle more people produce more waste just by the sheer population growth that is happening all over the globe. Especially in the once 'developing countries' like India and China their Middle Class has doubled.

Everyone wants to drive cars, eat fast food, have all the tech gadgets available to mankind and live like us Americans. We have to come up with more resources to create those products which in turn, create waste. Afterwards we get rid of them by throwing them away.

How can we be better 'waste managers' and is there really a solution?
