Hi everyone, today I searched in the internet finding facts about rubbish for inquiry. In the inquiry, we ask yourself some questions about rubbish and find the answer using the internet. My question was 'Who creates the most rubbish in the world"? While researching, the most challenging thing to do was to write the information in my own words. The answer is below the paragraph your reading and it's pretty sad. Please comment and tell me what I should improve on, thanks.
The country who makes the most rubbish is the United States. The United States produces around 236 million tons (21 billion kg) of waste each year! An average American throws away 7 pounds (3200 grams) of waste daily. The U.S absorbs 30% of the world’s resources despite only being the 5% of the world population. Also, the U.S produces 30% of the world’s waste. In a year, Americans throw away around 27 million tons (24 billion kg) of food, 9 million tons (775 million kg) of furniture and 6,330,000 tons (5742 million kg) of clothes and shoes. Sadly, 80% of all product that is produced in the U.S is only used once and then thrown away. Thank you for reading this and I'll see you later.
Hmmmm.... the world needs a change of thinking because where are we going to live after ruin the planet? That's why we stopped putting plastic wrap on your sandwiches! Good work on a sad article.
