As Barry Commoner, an American biologist, once said,
"Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented."
This waste is filling our oceans, and killing the animals living in them. It is taking up valuable space in landfills, and filling the air with dangerous chemicals.
We were given this beautiful planet, yet we are destroying it. A big reason people aren't trying to save our planet, is because they don't know how.
In 2013 alone America generated about 254 million tons of waste.
