Producing mountains of waste

This article is so right on and something that clearly impacts global warming.
“‘ALL OF what we produce is going to be waste,” says Claude Ouimet. He waves his hand around the brand new seminar room, studded with audio-visual devices. “This beautiful room, all this equipment, it’s all going to be waste. It’s just a matter of time.” The Eco-Efficiency Centre’s director, Ray Côté, handed me a graph showing that of the raw materials and energy that go into U.S. manufacturing, only seven per cent is transformed into products. The other 93 per cent becomes waste - slag heaps, emissions, heat, by-products. And of the seven per cent that reaches the market, 80 per cent is discarded after a single use. Think of packaging, motor oil, tissue paper, garbage bags. The result: 99 per cent of the raw materials and energy that we took from the Earth to make industrial products has become waste within six weeks of sale. Ninety-nine per cent! Nature, by contrast, wastes nothing. Nature is cyclical, fluid and creative. One organism’s wastes are another’s nutrients. The fallen tree shelters the mouse and feeds the fungus. Substances and energies interweave, separate and re-join, looping together like the circles that represent the Olympic Games. We have to green our minds, change the way we view the world, and accept responsibility for our life decisions. More and more, our lives need to mimic natural cycles. If everything we produce is going to be waste, we have to ensure that it’s useful waste, waste that nourishes life.” - Source
