Achieving Sustainable Development: Reducing Household Waste in the Community.
This 15-page, 11-source piece analyzes the problem of what to do with household waste. The piece starts by giving a theoretical background, showing how environmental awareness (which now includes reducing the amount of waste entering landfills and incinerators and recycling to protect the environment) is now a key concern of city planners. After describing why recycling household waste is important (especially the related issue of removing hazard household waste), the author give three examples of recycling efforts: Ireland, which has little waste problems but has started a recycling program early, Denmark, which has enormous waste problems and has implemented a waste tax with mixed results, and Oregon, which has successfully used a complex but effective recycling program. The author concludes that a waste tax may benefit some communities, but the most important factors in any recycling program are: starting before waste problems become too serious, anticipating future need, and educating the public of the importance and benefits of recycling. 15 pgs.
