Assessing and Improving Social Compatibility

Municipal Solid Waste Management

Abstract

“People start pollution, people can stop it!” This slogan, coined for an antipollution campaign in the USA, is convincing at first sight. The preceding chapters of this book have shown that there is a broad range of options for dealing with solid wastes in an environmentally and economically acceptable way and that we indeed have the tools to limit waste related pollution to an acceptable level. There is, however, a broad gap between knowledge about environmental issues, on the one hand, and taking action to change the situation, on the other. Overcoming this gap is one of the central challenges in bringing environmental issues from the domain of analysis and scientific understanding to the reality of every-day life.
