Every day billions of Tons of organic waste that should go back to soils are thrown into garbage, thus organic Carbon does not return to soils, but instead they are located in places with mix garbage, which turns into soil, water and air pollution. This occurs mainly in developing countries (Although industrialized countries recycle most of their waste, recycling is around 70% or even less). So this is the opportunity to ask to governments to start efficient organic waste management plans. And use those materials as organic fertilizers. There are plenty of places where those materials are highly required, among them soil eroded lands.
