On average, Americans throw away their
own body weight in trash every month.
WaPo:
Drowning in garbage (Paywall)
Time
to add this
to
the terrorist list?
In
a new twist on
obesity crisis:
our
garbagey habits
rank
us with ISIS.
(You
wanna bet
the
bigger threat?)
Just
contemplate:
one
month's trash equals weight.
We
can't deny it.
It's
time to diet.
The
world throws away
three
point five Mil.
tons
a day
What
have we tossed?
Paradise
Lost?
Drowning
in waste
we
carry on
and
order more garbage
from
Amazon.
This
saves fuel
but
fuels paradoxes.
We
save on gas
but
generate boxes
which bring to a standstill
available
landfill.
If
Marie Antoinette
were
here today,
looking
about
she'd
likely say,
“People
are hungry,
people
are starving?
They have no porridge?
Let
them eat garbage!”
And,
as before,
she'd haven't a clue.
In
the U.S. Of A.
we
already do.
