Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sahel kallas området i Afrika som sträcker sig från Atlanten i väst till Röda havet i öst och utgör gränsen mellan Saharas öken i norr och de fuktigare tropiska områdena längre söderut. Området är torrt och nederbörden faller oregelbundet. Under 1970- och 1980-talet drabbades området av svår torka med svält som följd.

I Sydskåne produceras drygt 500 kg avfall per person och år. Mer än 90 procent av insamlat avfall används som en resurs antingen genom återanvändning, återvinning eller för energiutvinning. Dock återstår runt tre procent som deponeras, vilket sker vid Sydskånes avfallsaktiebolags (Sysav) avfallsupplag. Deponeringen vid Albäck i Trelleborg, har sedan årsskiftet 2008/2009 upphört efter mer än 50 årsIn the south of Skåne about 500 kg of waste per person is produced every year. Nowadays waste is considered a resource of which more than 90 percent is recycled, reused, or used for energy-production. About three percent of the annual waste remains, and is deposited at landfills owned by the South Skåne Waste Company, Sysav. The Sysav landfill at Albäck in Trelleborg was in use from the 1950’s un
