Alternatives for Municipal Waste
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper, with a one page outline, which
discusses the current conditions relating to municipal waste and the alternatives that are
being implemented to deal with the problems. The most obvious type of implementation
being put into use today is recycling. Unfortunately, this does not always work. A
definition of the types of recycling are illustrated. In addition we illustrate the method of
waste-to-energy, which presents a very positive way to dispose of waste. Unfortunately
no one method can prove completely effective, but perhaps through every possible way of
disposing of waste, we can see the future in a more positive light in regards to refuse.

surrounding the toxic waste disaster of Love Canal, New York --

thirty years ago, however, the impact of the damage done in the
area, the expense and personal anguish, the fact that much of the
