As we become richer and richer, we are producing more and more rubbish. The Asian Development Bank（ADB） says that our largest cities produce 760 000 tons of solid waste every day. It predicts（預料） that there will be an increase—to 1.8 million tons—by 2025. It seems too much to deal with. “The growing waste is simply trying to cover our cities,” says Michael Lindfield, a specialist of ADB in Manila.

The proper treatment of rubbish is beyond the financial resources（金融資源）of many countries. The World Bank says some governments are spending as much as half of their budgets（預算） dealing with rubbish. And even so, it is common that half of all the waste goes uncollected.

Much of the added difficulty is packaging from consumer（消費者）products and the products themselves—all of which need years, even centuries to decompose（化解）. Lindfield believes that four of every five products we buy are thrown away after a single use. It all makes the work to deal with solid waste much more expensive.

The rubbish is more than just an environmental problem—it also influences national economies（經(jīng)濟） by disturbing the world market, discouraging tourism and slowing down industrial development.

Lots of rubbish also influences the look of our cities. As he walks to work from his home in Bangkok every day, Chatchat Mutita, a 36-year-old advertising specialist, must pass a lot of ugly, smelly rubbish that isn’t collected until late at night. He says things get worse when it rains because some yellow water will stream from the rubbish to the sidewalk.

Modern technology can make the problems of open dumps less serious. But Chettiyappan Visvanathan, a professor at the Asian Institute of Technology in Pathumthal, Thailand, believes that there are no engineered facilities（設備） in nine of every ten dumps all over the country. Some countries depend on most solid waste to produce energy, but there’s a growing problem of air pollution. Burning is far more dangerous than open dumps. The ADB says the growing rubbish must be dealt with by the “3Rs” —reducing the waste, reusing things that are being thrown away and recycling materials.

Planet Earth Welcome to Planet Earth Museum, a museum where you can learn some interesting facts about the world we live in. “1.. Who knows, maybe you’ll see them all one day! Where shall we go first, children? “Forests!”

Forests are home to over half of the world’s animals and plants. Trees clean the air and produce oxygen (O2) for us to breathe. Every day we throw away hundreds of trees in paper and card and we destroy more than 36 football fields of forests.

2.. They transfer (傳遞) the sun’s heat into the air and move it around the world. A lot of the rubbish we produce on land pollutes the oceans. Turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and die when they eat them.

At opposite ends of the world, the Arctic and Antarctic are freezing cold lands. 3.. The fuel we use for energy makes the earth warmer. As it gets warmer, the ice melts (融化) and the sea rises. The land disappears.

Rivers collect rain water and carry it to the oceans. 4., so it is safe for us to drink. Farms and factories pollute the rivers with pesticides (殺蟲劑) and chemicals. Every day we flush (沖掉) 50L of dirty water down the toilet.

A. It is so cold that the sea it covered in ice

B. There are many amazing places on Earth
