We should be measuring our landfills somehow to reduce our overall waste, including our plastic waste.
Instead what we're doing is sending it Africa and getting up on our pedestal to brag to the world how 'green' we are.
Without the media looking into that, most people wouldn't even be aware of how hypocritical our country is when it comes to waste management.
