HOLGER HOFFMANN • RECENT STUDIES INDICATE THAT THE WORLD CURRENTLY PRODUCES OVER TWO BILLION TONS OF SOLID WASTE ANNUALLY, A FIGURE PROJECTED TO RISE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE COMING DECADES DUE TO POPULATION GROWTH, URBANIZATION, AND CHANGING CONSUMPTION PATTERNS.

NORILSK: Stopover in Russia’s Most Polluted City HOLGER HOFFMANN • NORILSK CAN ONLY BE REACHED BY PLANE OR, IN WINTER, VIA THE FROZEN RIVERS AND, IN THE SHORT SUMMER, BY BOAT ON THE YENISEI RIVER.
