Kinda unfair to the Philippines when other countries have been shipping their garbage to them. I know Canada got in hot water back in 2013 for shipping around 100 shipping containers worth to them.
A sad guide... Surprised it is topped by the Philippines.
This graphic is misleading as it fails to mention that these smaller nations like the Philippines are contracted by much larger nations to dispose of their waste.
OK, that makes sense.
Cheers! My first reaction looking at this was, "I don't believe this for a second"
