Weekly Update
The Global Footprint Network has developed a metric for determining how far we are pushing the Earth in terms of resource consumption and waste generation. In terms of resource extraction and waste absorption, we are already 75 percent beyond what the Earth can sustain in the long run. And the number continues to rise.

Until recently, the recycling process ended in China, where it was cleaned, crushed, and turned into raw material. Beijing, on the other hand, decided in 2018 that it would no longer accept trash from around the world. Rich countries turned to other markets, primarily in Southeast Asia, after losing their overseas dumping ground. Countries like Thailand and Malaysia, which were inundated with foreign garbage, eventually put their foot down, with some even returning trash to its source.
Our continent takes home the dubious honor of being the world's worst garbage dumper. Based on World Bank data, new research from USA Today shows that Canada is the world's leading per capita producer of solid waste, followed by Bulgaria and the United States. However, the United States leads the world in total waste production, with nearly 8.5 billion metric tons produced each year. We only recycle about 35% of our trash, resulting in headlines like "US Tops Garbage Pile in Global Waste Crisis."
