Don’t Waste Your Money On Trash, Make Money From It.
There are 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. We eat and leave left over everyday, we drink Starbuck and throw the paper cup plus the cover away everyday, and we take a bath using a plastic container every single day, I hope. Imagine how much trash have we produce. I am 18 years old, and don’t even remember what I put in my mouth yesterday (although I bet it is a lot), but what I do know is that I probably produced a mound of trash each year. Yes, the problem is that we are using too much of everything, and that we should use less; however, this is impossible. To ask someone to stop using is in fact impossible! This only exists in a fantasy world, which is not real! But one thing that is possible is making the most out of all of the trash that we produce. Like what Sweden did.
Do you know that in Sweden, only one percent of the trash went into the landfill. Isn’t it amazing! Among 4.4 million tons of trash the swedish people created only one percent of it got dumped into the soil, meaning that 99 percent were reuse. 99 percent of left over, 99 percent of plastic bag, 99 percent of waste milk carton, and paper box get recycle.
If only all developed countries follow what Sweden did. If only we can, then we will never waste a lot of land for leftover stuff anymore. We can use those land for a prestige five star hotel rather than a smelly landfill, we can use those land for a beautiful park, rather than a contaminated wasteland. I am not asking you to useless ( although considering of using wisely would be great), but to make the least mistake out of it.

It an interesting ideas and facts that you've shared. I also agreed that human consumed too much and created too much trash; and all we have make used of it was mostly landfill or burn them. These two is not the clean and best solution of how we could handle the trash overload problem. It would be nice if you can add more examples of how Sweden can manage to have only one percent of trash to used in landfill, what did they do to the rest. Tell us how they started to solve the problem, so maybe it could be an innovation for the rest of the world to do likewise.
