Sustainable solutions, things about garbage and recycling
The garbage that they produce is just the tip of the iceberg and recycling is not possible for some waste due to toxic components or non-recyclable designs.
Recycling helps reduce garbage and pressure to mine new resources, but it is not enough to solve the problem.
Burning trash is a major problem and some companies export disposal to avoid building landfills and incinerators locally.
The garbage we produce is just the tip of the iceberg and recycling is not possible for some waste due to toxic components or non-recyclable designs.
System
People, particularly those in government and corporations, play important roles in the system and their interests often conflict.
Extraction, or natural resource exploitation, is leading to the depletion of resources and environmental destruction.
The system is in crisis because it is linear and cannot be sustained indefinitely on a finite planet.
The materials economy is a linear system that moves from extraction to production to distribution to consumption to disposal.
The system needs to be changed to a more circular and sustainable model.
Economy, consumption and production
Advertisements and media play a big role in encouraging consumerism.
Planned obsolescence: products designed to be useless as quickly as possible to encourage consumers to buy new ones
American economy's ultimate purpose is to produce more consumer goods
People see over 3,000 ads a day, which makes us unhappy with what we have.
Our consumption leads to excessive waste, and disposal through landfill and incineration harms the environment and changes the climate.
Breast milk has the highest level of toxic contaminants, which babies receive from their mothers during breastfeeding. Toxins are present in many products, factories, and environments, and they harm not only individuals but entire communities. The system relies on externalizing costs and wasting resources and people. The pollution created by toxic products and factories affects not only local communities but also spreads globally. The goal of distribution is to keep prices down and inventory moving, which often means externalizing costs onto workers and not capturing the real costs of making products in the price.
This gives us to understand, even though a system, company or product is investigated or analyzed, it will always have a danger or something defective, in this case, because the level of toxins it has
