A Call to Action
Waste is a major issue we all know about. It’s huge, affecting the whole planet and every part of our lives. Many of us want to help solve it, yet others still need to learn how and why they should join in.
Let’s take a closer look at the issue of waste:
- By now, everyone knows that Waste is a challenging problem.
- And that the problem is big (global level) and complex (affecting all aspects of life on Earth).
- Most of us are starting to be concerned about the problem, and willing to personally support efforts towards improving the situation.
- But there are many more people who still need to be made aware, and also assisted in knowing how they can support.
