Garbage is a trend!

What if mankind had to leave Earth because of too much waste and overconsumption? Have you ever wondered where your supermarket plastic bags end up after being used?

Garbage and waste is a serious global challenge. Disney Pixars movie, WALLE, animates how the humankind has left the Earth 800 years in the future. Behind they left a Earth full of waste and no sign of life, except one robot cleaning up the human mess. Instead the humankind has moved their home to an luxury spaceship Axion in the galaxy, enjoying eating, sitting in a transportable chair supported by robots.

The trendspotter, Christina Cheng, is also engaged in the challenge of the human consumption and waste. Critically she shares about "plastic fantastic?" Did you e.g. know that 60 tons plastic is manufactured every year, and that plastic is not biodegradable? An average plastic consumption pr. person pr. year is 98kg! But where is the plastic? Look at islands in south located oceans, and you will find the answer!
