FAQ

Ever wonder how much trash gets produced each day around the world?

According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.

Most of this rubbish ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, what happens when those dumpsters fill up? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. Mike Sexton is his nickname. He is the founder of Waste Watchers. He watches over trucks that transport trash across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.

Sexton claims he is very satisfied with his job. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton began following truckers almost 20 year ago.

"It's all I felt," he stated.

Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton recalls, "The guy was searching for somewhere to put his loads." "He saw the building as he drove down the road. So he pulled over and went inside. "There was a pair of large, full-sized roll-off boxes. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was just total chaos. But it had been cleaned before he arrived. There wasn't any trash."

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.

This can happen hundreds of times a week. This can happen hundreds of times a week.Eventually, the truck becomes so overloaded with junk that it stops running. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.

But, this isn't the only problem that our planet is facing.

Most of these particles are made up of tiny pieces of plastic.Some of these plastics end up in landfills or incinerators. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.

Experts say if nothing changes, we could soon face a global food shortage. "If we keep going like we're going, we're not going to make it," one expert warned.But even though scientists agree that the world is headed toward disaster, most people don't seem worried.

What is your most secretive community?

It may surprise you to hear the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.

It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.

It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.

It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.

One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.

This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.

Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just moved to another town.

There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.

The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland.

Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided to investigate.

I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can one place vanish from existence?

It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing 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. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.

The fact is that hundreds of towns all over the world have been swept away by the ground, despite theories to the contrary. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.

Which is the most mysterious spot on Earth?

Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.

We find this place so fascinating. Because it's unlike any other place in the world.

It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.

Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.

Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.

Antarctica: The South Pole

No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Others believe it means "land with ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.

In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.

Others believe the name was derived from the Greek words tropos, which means turn, and anti, meaning against. This would be land turned away form the sun.

Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.

It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.

This frozen wasteland is still alive.

About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. Here are approximately 50% of all the animal and plant species in the world.

What is Antarctica? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.

This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.

These floating glaciers make up 80%. They are growing in size every year.

So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.

If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to widespread flooding.

This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.

But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.

Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?

If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.

Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.

Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. You might also lose your audition for a film role. This happens all the time.

Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.

Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.

Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They will usually ask you to sound better.

It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.

They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.

There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others think actors are lazy.

No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.

Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
