1. 1. How Much Does Rubbish Cost?
2. 2. Why Throw Things Away? Why Not Recycle?
3. 3. How Should We Get Rid of Rubbish?

Every year, around the world, millions of tons of rubbish are buried. How much rubbish does a person create every year? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American produces about 4.4 pounds¹ (2 kg) of rubbish a day, or a total of 29 pounds (13 kg) per week and 1,600 pounds (726 kg) a year: food cans, drinks cans, plastic and glass bottles, packaging, waste paper etc. This only takes into consideration the average family member and does not count industrial waste.

Britain produces 8.5 billion cans per year. Half are for drinks and half for food. England and Wales produce 500 tons of rubbish every year. This costs 600 million pounds to collect and bury. Statistics says that in one year, an average European family with two children throws away about 60 kilos of plastic and about 50 kilos of paper. To make that amount of paper, six trees need to be cut down. The number of cans thrown away in one year by an average person is amazing: it's about 70 food cans, more than 30 cans of pet food, and about 70 drinks cans and plastic bottles. It's quite interesting what the rubbish you produce can say about your age, job, tastes, and hobbies.

You would be surprised to know that Americans are not the number one producers of rubbish in the world. In Mexico, the average family produces 30 per cent more rubbish than in America. Russia is in the seventh place in this rating behind the USA, China, India and other countries. All reasonable people realize that something must be changed in our lifestyle to stop the pollution of the Earth.

We don't have to throw away all our waste paper, glass, metal and plastic. In fact it is possible to recycle most domestic rubbish, but only four per cent of recyclable material is actually recycled. The reason is that recycling is not cheap. However, in countries that recycle most of their waste, they save electrical energy, and their forests, and protect the environment from pollution.
