Myanmar
Every single day in Myanmar, more than 2,500 tons of trash are thrown away. More specifically, with over 5 million people living in Yangon, this has become a major problem that’s unstoppable.

Unfortunately, a lot of the trash ends up on the side of the road and in waterways, contaminating the water and soil that the locals use. Because of rapid urbanization, the government is having trouble keeping up with the immense amount of waste being thrown away by citizens. It’s quickly becoming one of the most polluted areas in the world (MM Times).
