Waste & urban living📌

City slickers generate most of our world’s rubbish. Imagine every city dweller tossing out a small bag of waste every day. It accumulates, right? 😅

Stats to impress your friends📈

  • World’s current waste stat: 1.3 billion tonnes of solid domestic waste/year.
  • Break it down: That's like every city person throwing away about 1.2 kg of waste daily. (Think: about 2 pairs of sneakers' weight EVERY DAY! 👟)

Future projections🔮

  • As more people move to cities and we keep ordering pizza, that number is gonna jump! 🍕
  • By 2025, we're looking at 2.2 billion tonnes of waste per year!
  • Average waste per person? About 1.4 kg. (That's like throwing out your school backpack full of books every day. Heavy, right? 🎒)
