Now about that garbage…residents of New York City and the surrounding boroughs (where I live) generate 12,000 tons of garbage each day!! Yes, I said day, not year. The garbage is then taken to landfills in other states, (Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio). We pay these states and often this money goes to support education. The landfills in these states are almost full. Where will it go when no states will take our garbage? How did this happen? Years ago trash was burned but this created another problem, air pollution. Is it possible that we could as a society take responsibility for this problem and stop buying unnecessary items? I’m just one person but lots of ones together could make a big difference. Just think about it.
