Comment:
Increase incentives and regulations regarding businesses recycling waste. Make it easier for them to do so and increase requirements for them to do so. A very successful action in other areas has been to charge more for waste going to landfill than for recycled waste. Make producers responsible for end of life cycle disposal of products, particularly toxic products. Provide incentives for recycled products, like paper, and remove subsidies that encourage waste, like subsidies to oil and logging companies. Compost green waste, do not use it for fuel. It is much more valuable from a sustainability viewpoint as compost. Require that businesses and individuals compost green waste or put it in bins where it will be composted by the city. Zero waste marketing campaigns should be done state wide - that needs to be the target, with no compromises.
