FAQ
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
Most of the trash ends up at incinerators and landfills. But, what happens to those dumpsters? It goes to the United States, where most of it is exported. It is then shipped out and dumped in other countries. This pollutes the ecosystems. But now we know, thanks to one man. Mike Sexton is his nickname. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. He reports back to us about the next steps.
Sexton said he enjoys his job. CNN asked Sexton if he thought it was a lot of fun. "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton started following truck drivers nearly 20 years ago.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
He loved the story of the driver who pulled into an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. "The guy was looking for someplace to put his load," Sexton recalled. "He saw the building as he drove down the road. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. "It was just a total mess. But it had been cleared out before he arrived. There wasn't any trash."
So why did this happen? The answer is that this location was once part of a recycling facility. People who knew about it would drive to this location to recycle their garbage. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
Now, because of the way the law works, once a container reaches its destination, it cannot be opened.So no matter how often someone takes something out of it, the thing will never be emptied.Every time the truck comes by, it has to start over again. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.
But, this isn't the only problem that our planet is facing.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.
Experts warn us that we may soon face an international food shortage if things don't change. Experts warn that if we continue to go the same way, we won't make it. However, scientists and most people aren't worried.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
This question might surprise you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
You can even track the disappearance of Zugspitz on a dedicated website.
You might be wondering where this town went. Well, it's in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can one place become extinct?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
It's fascinating to see how industries react to their mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. Last week, that's exactly where we were.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He was eventually able to get clean and went to rehab.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
