An easy pickup March 28, 2006
Some 11 million tonnes of household and business waste is disposed of via landfill sites in the UK alone every year. I shudder to think what the amount must be worldwide.
All this decomposing waste produces something like a third of the methane emissions contributing to climate change annually.
I’m always amazed at how many people still drop empty drink cartons, sandwich wrappers and other bits of rubbish as they walk along the street.
If we picked up just one piece of street rubbish a day, then literally millions of pieces of rubbish would disappear from our streets each and every day.
