The Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act, first published in1994, was designed to integrate product responsibility into economic decision-making, with the aim of building a life cycle economy that avoids the generation of waste. The Act states that whoever produces, markets and consumes goods is responsible for the avoidance, recycling, reuse, and environmentally-sound disposal of waste. As a result, it establishes a hierarchy of avoidance, recovery, and disposal that emphasizes waste avoidance, promotes low-waste products, and provides incentives for waste recovery practices. Properly sorting and recycling waste in turn: Saves energy Reduces air pollution Decreases greenhouse gas emissions Saves money Your participation is vital for the success of all recycling efforts! Making small changes in your daily life style will reduce waste! REDUCE the amount of trash discarded, e.g., choose products with less packaging. Choose loose fruit, cheese, and meat. Buy products in glass jars and tins which can be recycled.

  • A Return to the Town Square
    2017 INTERNATIONAL MAKING CITIES LIVABLE CONFERENCE A Return to the Town Square Stephanie Rouse June 6, 2017 The town square was an integral city function for centuries throughout the world. It was the central hub of activity, a place for gathering to celebrate, receive information, conduct business, and to simply sit. They have changed over time, losing prominence in recent decades with attitudes changing about society and how we interact. Before technology took off and created an environment that allowed for information at your fingertips, individuals gathered in town squares to share information, discuss politics, and transact business. It has since become a barrier to genuine interaction. Most engagement today is done through social media, email, and video chats. While these forms of communication can be useful when working in a global economy, we cannot forget the value derived from speaking in person. The classic town square can be reimagined to function as it used to, to bring people together to interact face to face and create an educated and active society. We can use the town square as an inviting place that allows people to gather to celebrate, conduct business, and engage in discussion. We may not need the town square to disseminate information, but it can still give us the environment to interact face to face again. There is a way to bring back the historic town square to build on the original values in the new era of design and information. 2 | Page A Return to the Town Square by Stephanie Rouse Most town squares in the United States are a piece of art, rather than a fully functioning space.
