    Clearing Land and Ocean

    One of the common symptoms of the unsustainable world is garbage or solid waste (it

    can be on land or water).

    Globally, a large quantity of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is generated every day. As

    per the World Bank, the cities of the world generated 2.01 billion tons of household and

    commercial waste.

    And the rapid population growth and urbanization mean that annual waste generation

    may increase by 70% from the 2016 level to 3.40 billion tons in 2050.
