The given bar chart compares three ways of garbage disposal in a European nation between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, it is clear that while the amount of trash being buried underground and thrown to the ocean experienced a downward trend, that of being burnt remained unchanged.
In 2005, there were 70 million tonnes of waste ended up in landfills, but this figure steadily dropped by 10 million each passing year before reaching 40 million tonnes in 2008. Similarly, roughly 53 million tonnes of rubbish were discharged into the sea at the beginning of the period. After decreasing to 50 million in 2006, it remained unchanged throughout that whole year. From 2007 to 2008, this number dropped significantly to 40 million tonnes.
Considering the burning approach, at first, the number of waste stood at around 65 million tonnes. Then it observed a sudden fall to 40 million in 2007 before climbing back to approximately 65 million at the end of the given period
