data ink ratio is very high
The world map is not really necessary (except for showing the shipment routes)
The circles are overlapping
The values are not ordered (because they are shown on the map)
The label "Total Hazardous Waste Production" can't be attached to anything in the first moment
Much unimportant information, only the necessary info should be on the graph:
- The circles as descriptors include the information about the ratio between country size and hazardous waste production.
- Sublabels of Arrows: what's shipped?
- Major Illegal Waste Shipment Routes" don't really fit into the question "Which countries produce the most hazardous waste?"

Total hazardous waste production in metric tons

The essential information is the waste production (according to the graph's title). So we removed all the other information.
The diagram now only has the necessary information
Data ink ratio is very low (no 3D effects, no additional lines/axis that don't show any information etc.)
The values are ordered in a bar chart, which gives a better overview over the data.
Removed the red color, because it was kind of an eye catcher

 Total hazardous waste production in metric tons
-* We made two graphs that separate the information.
+* The essential information is the waste production (according to the graph's title). So we removed all the other information.
-** The first one shows the shipment routes and geographical information, that could be interesting, like if countries that reported waste generation are lying to each other, etc.
+* The diagram now only has the necessary information
-** The second one shows the values of the hazardous waste production. That is acutally the key information in the graph and it's not necessary to show where these countries are.
+* Data ink ratio is very low (no 3D effects, no additional lines/axis that don't show any information etc.)
 * The values are ordered in a bar chart, which gives a better overview over the data.
-* The ship routes are only labelled by the continents, the additional information (goods etc) is removed, because that information is not as important.
-* The circles have been removed, because they didn't distribute as much information.
-* Numbers have been put to an extra graph
 * Removed the red color, because it was kind of an eye catcher
