Waste, stop the invasion?

Will the world collapse under the increasing volumes of waste? The risk seems real, since forecasts suggest that the volume of waste will increase with nearly 70% by 2050. Over-consumption and over-packaging are condemning even the most remote parts of the planet to long-lasting pollution. Despite of increased awareness and some efforts taken to reduce the amounts of waste, the uncontrollable production of waste is marking the beginning of a new geological era, characterised by the omnipresence of man: the anthropocene. Developed countries bear a great responsibility, while 16% of the world's richest population produces 34% of all waste. In collaboration with the MAPS agency, Géopolis is dedicating an exhibition to this pressing issue. An exhibition that includes two photographic perspectives as well as an educational exhibition retracing the root causes.
