Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Kinda unfair to the Philippines when other countries have been shipping their garbage to them. I know Canada got in hot water back in 2013 for shipping around 100 shipping containers worth to them.

A sad guide... Surprised it is topped by the Philippines.

This graphic is misleading as it fails to mention that these smaller nations like the Philippines are contracted by much larger nations to dispose of their waste.

OK, that makes sense.

Cheers! My first reaction looking at this was, "I don't believe this for a second"
