The more "developed" we get, the more we throw away. And all around the world, rubbish heaps are growing as countries industrialise. Recycling levels in developed countries are climbing, but have not kept pace with increasing output. And our hunger for the latest consumer items is leaving graveyards of complex and hazardous items such as computers and televisions. The UK Government has defended its record on the environment saying it is something to be proud of, but admits that there is more to do. What do we need to do to be greener? How can we make sure we have a less detrimental effect on our environment? What do you need to know about green living? Hannah Griffiths of Friends of The Earth answered your questions in a LIVE forum for the BBC's Six O'clock news, presented by Manisha Tank. This forum has now finished.
