The fallout from nuclear waste is one; humans' contribution to global warming through greenhouse-gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, and its impact on rising sea levels, is another.
But there are ways to waste less.
This would not cut carbon emissions spectacularly, but nor would it be a spectacular waste of public funds.
Europe cannot afford to waste valuable human capital at a time when China and India are on the rise and its own population is aging.
Sure, we can find more fossil fuels, but at much higher cost and at much greater environmental risk from industrial spills, waste products, leaks, and other damage.
Looking for them is a waste of resources.
Likewise, China's government cannot continue to waste resources on economic-stimulus packages that have led to industrial overcapacity and skyrocketing local-government debt.
Still, it is striking that just as China is rising economically and geopolitically, the US seems to be doing everything possible to waste its own economic, technological, and geopolitical advantages.

Closed-loop recycling, in which plastics waste is used to make another product, thus carries significant environmental benefits, such as reduced energy and oil consumption.
