What a waste
Sep 3rd 2008
From Economist.com 
The rubbish mountains grow

OVER 2.1 billion tonnes of rubbish were dumped around the world last year.  
Rich countries are the most wasteful, with each person chucking away 1.4kg of  
solid trash every day, but this has leveled off in recent years as the rich 
try  to create less of it and to recycle more. As poorer nations grow richer 
they  will produce more waste. In 2004 China surpassed America as the largest 
producer  of rubbish: by 2030 it will be churning out nearly 500m tonnes a  year.
