Global waste trade

Hello, little one! Today we're going to talk about something called "global waste trade."

Have you ever heard of recycling? It's when we take things we don't need anymore (like old toys or plastic bottles) and turn them into something new. But sometimes, people and companies create a lot of waste (like garbage or things that can't be recycled), and they need to get rid of it.

That's where the global waste trade comes in. Some countries have a lot of waste and don't want it, while other countries need waste to create things like energy or new products. So, they trade their waste with each other.

But sometimes, this can cause problems. For example, some countries might send their waste to poorer countries that don't have the proper facilities to handle it safely. This can harm the environment and the health of the people who live there.

That's why it's important for countries to work together to find the best ways to manage waste, like by reducing the amount of waste they produce, recycling more, and making sure that waste is handled safely and responsibly.

So, now you know a little more about the global waste trade and why it's important to take care of our planet!
