Garbage: How Can My Community Reduce Waste?

http://www.learner.org/exhibits/garbage/intro.html

Today's website, under the auspices of the Annanberg Foundation,
offers a well-designed site providing facts and advice about
dealing with trash.  Anyone embarking on a clean-up, may find the
website an interesting source of information on the ever-present
problem of waste management.

"If your habits resemble those of average Americans, you generate
about 4 pounds of solid trash per day. . . How can we find ways
to meet our current economic and social needs without
compromising the ability of our children, and our children's
children, to do the same? . . . In this exhibit, you can find out
how to improve next year's environmental record. You'll learn how
waste is handled now and how some communities are doing it
better. In the activities, you can test your knowledge about
hazardous waste we generate in our homes and try to shrink a
landfill." - from the website

The site explores sewage, solid and hazardous waste along with
possible solutions for dealing with them. Additional sections
examine innovative waste management efforts being implemented in
various global regions and future concerns, along with an
excellent listing of further resources.
