Believe it or not Canada is the World's highest per capita solid waste producer. Between 1990 to 2005, it has increased by 24%. By 2000, they produced more than the Americans (which was before the highest waste producer). By 2006, per person produced in estimate 1000kg a year. In 2010, Canada even surpassed the capacity of its landfill, forcing them to export its waste out of Canada.
Canada waste management took action to it and focus on 3R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. On this situation, it is best to reduce the waste but the hardest one although recycle would be least effective but it got more attention towards people.
