A. the United States collection and dumping processes mix and crush everything together so separation is not possible.

D. that people in the United States have a higher standard of living than Japan and Europe.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, US does produce much more waste than oit should. People are recycling more,,but there is far too much packaging on goods in the US. Japan and Europe sell things differently. Many people in the US are tryng to recycle, compost and reuse as much as possible. Others are very wasteful and litterbugs. More needs to be done in education. Most landfills do mix everything and compact it. Waste burning facilities would help.
