In the throwaway mindset of the world of rabid consumerism, hundreds of thousands of pounds of trash are discarded by humans every day. Where does it all go? When will we run out of space to contain it all? What kind of damage is it doing to our precious environment? These have long been the questions of concerned environmentalists and conscientious consumers alike. In this video, environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. presents some basic facts about the things we throw away each day and offers tips on how we can recycle the millions of paper reams, cans, jars, and bottles we use and discard. ~ Kathryn Tamms, Rovi
