Did you know?All over the world developing countries have little or no waste collection infrastructure. Trash is left to pile up and block roads, rivers, and walkways. Pollution from burning trash contaminates the air. Chemicals leech into the soil and water contaminating both food supplies and drinking water. Even when trash is collected, if it's left in unlined landfills the problem persists and can lead to disease and death.
