“Garbage is the product of how we have decided to produce things and run our society,” reports The Tyee. An Industrial Metabolism scholar calculates, “that 94 per cent of the inputs, the raw materials and energy that go into a product, never make it into the output, the finished item. In other words, we make way more garbage than we make stuff; it's just "easier" that way.”
