Answer 3

I'm sure that disposable diapers are number one on the list. I was surprised to learn that disposable razors are high up there as well.
I'd love to give you numbers, percentages or graphs, but it isn't my homework.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

I think it depends on what area of the world you are in. Here is a nice article about cleaning up the world. Some of the common items found are: Plastic, glass, metal and cigarette butts.

Answer 5

It would have to be detergent, first.. you know sewerage waste, industrial waste.. all that stuff we put down the sink and forget about.1000 litres per day from every household... that's 1 tonne per day.just from a house..... ridiculous isn't it.......

Then I'd guessing either paper or plastic wouldn't it? I think car tyres would also be pretty high on the list.... and in terms of volume... construction waste.
