Our Impact on the Planet.
What is waste and why is it a growing problem? How can factories in Eastern Europe pollute countries in Scandinavia? From household rubbish to global warming, 'Waste, Recycling And Reuse' looks at the issues surrounding the waste problem and why it has grown over the past 50 years. How can we reduce the waste we produce without lowering our standards of living? Are there ways we can reuse our waste or will the world soon be one big rubbish tip?
The '21st Century Debates' series looks at the impact human development is having on the planet and how this could affect our future. At the dawn of a new millennium, we are consuming more energy and producing more waste than ever before. What are the effects of our consumption on the natural world and how long can it last? This series examines the difficult decisions faced by governments and organisations concerned with these issues and asks what we as individuals can do to help.
