The left y-axis on a graph or a chart typically represents a range of values for a particular variable. In the context of your question, the left y-axis represents the "per capita generation of municipal solid waste in kilograms per year." This means that the y-axis is showing how much municipal solid waste is produced on average by each person within a certain population per year, and the values are measured in kilograms. As you move up the y-axis, the values increase, indicating a higher amount of waste generated per person. This axis would be used to visually compare the waste generation of different populations, or to observe trends over time when correlated with data on the x-axis, which might represent time or other variables.
