What's driving the attention

There is rising concern about waste management, highlighted by incidents of litter in unusual places such as the moon and local environmental clean-up efforts.

Recent events have drawn attention to escalating waste management issues, including a man discarding the first piece of trash on the moon, prompting discussions on international agreements for waste on celestial bodies. Concurrently, local clean-up initiatives have removed significant amounts of waste from waterways in the Netherlands, while some residents take matters into their own hands due to illegal dumping.
