Please can someone help me with how to estimate rate of waste generation?

Interesting problem, consider if all the cars were replaced with horses what would the pollution be and how would you control were it occurred. For a starter consider your own waste for the week, both your excretions and what you throw away, then multiply it by 7 billion. For better estimate go to local dumps and recycle plants, then consider local population. Or you can look online for others research, I haven't tried but I'm sure its been estimated before.
