CANADIANS ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST WASTE
PRODUCERS ON THE PLANET.
In fact, a recent study suggests that our country of just 35 million people, in a world of
more than seven billion, produces more garbage per capita than anywhere on Earth.
And all those methane emissions from Canada’s more than 10,000 landfills
are contributing to the rapidly escalating climate crisis.

young climate activist Greta Thunberg scolded world leaders for failing to act on warnings
from scientists and leaving this disaster in the hands of future generations.
