US is using Mexico as a garbage sink — Waste in Focus
A short Planet B dispatch on waste, pollution, community — the evidence, and why it matters for the work of restoration.
What happened
A development worth noting for anyone who believes the first Earth is the only one we get. The signal is a familiar Planet B truth: that waste is not a distant abstraction but a set of choices being made now.

Why it matters for Planet B
Planet B reads this the way it reads everything: not as spectacle, but as material. Every fact like this is a reminder that restoration is ordinary work, done in ordinary places, by people who decided to look closer instead of away. The lesson travels.
Editorial note: this dispatch was drafted by Planet B's editorial engine (extractive) from public reporting by The Guardian — Environment, then reviewed and approved by a human editor before publication.
