Umm... waste management in the United States is calculated in tons/year. and tons is calculated from pounds. So the units are not obvious. AT ALL! |

What year are these data from? |

Is it really that difficult to know what the uint is???? If you know anything about waste management you would know that the unit is Kg/person/year !!!!!!! |

The lack of units makes this graph worthless. |

This link provides more meaningful data (including units and waste over time), however it's in a table - if you want a graph you'll have to make you own! http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/22/58/41878186.pdf From the data in the above document, it looks as though the units are kg/capita - although the actual figures don't make that much that sense! |

People should really learn to save the environment by cutting down on the amount of waste they generate. In the spirit of good governance in waste management, the state/governments should support the idea of supplying waste bins to the citizenry in order to espouse the appropriate on premises waste management(waste management at source.) |
