Waste and Pollution

Britain produces nearly 500 million tonnes of waste every year, which raises queries with regard to how it is dealt with and whether or not it produces an environmental threat. This book argues that waste is better dealt with today and causes less pollution and environmental damage than ever before. It looks at all forms of waste and attempts to distinguish the facts from the fiction surrounding damage potential and safe disposal. This book also suports the development of "environmentally friendly" products including the banning of CFCs, the reduction of greenhouse gases and the simplification of packaging.
