“I love your bins. They're so random.” - Ja'mie King.

Let's face it. We have a lot of rubbish. In fact, we have too much. We, human beings, create an average of sixty-eight kilograms of waste per day. We don't seem to care about what we throw away, nor do we care about what happens after it goes into the bin, thus why we are facing such a large issue with waste management in 2013. Waste management refers to "the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials." Despite how well-hidden it may be, issues with waste management occur throughout the entire world, especially due to the constant flow of advancing technology. In order to have the clean future that we all secretly dream of, it is imperative that we face the music. We don't have enough space for all of our rubbish. Our landfills are overflowing with things we consider "waste" that could easily be recycled or reused for the better of our future. This is one of the many issues that we currently face and will face for a long time. Another issue, is the fact that we are cutting down endless amounts of trees, and disrupting the chain of multiple environments, just for it to rot into the ground at over-flowing landfills.

A large portion of what resides at landfills can, in fact, be recycled, and yet however are not, for many "sensible" and "rational" reasons..right? The reason why getting people to recycle is so difficult, I believe, is most people are set in the Australian-way, and by that, I mean, laid-back and carefree. In order to get people to care about waste management and the environment, it is a good start to give them a reason why they should do it. In doing this, it is a stepping stone in creating a truly clean and egalitarian society, such as Leesha Mckenny's article, "New breed of centres face challenge of getting waste management down to a tee," - http://www.smh.com.au/environment/conservation/new-breed-of-centres-face-challenge-of-getting-waste-management-down-to-a-tee-20120610-204h3.html.
