Question

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

Answer 1

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.
