Why is the world producing so much garbage? Garbage is an

endless quantities of consumer goods. What we haven’t been able to
do, however, is to find a successful way to __3__ all the by-products
of industry and the products themselves when they are used up, worn

One of the biggest causes of the garbage problem is the world’s
exploding population. More and more people mean more and more
waste. Before the industrial revolution, when the world population

was produced then could be absorbed by the earth without __4__
nature’s balance, but nature can no longer cope with the amount of
