While I'm
excited to hear that the city's plan includes ambitious goals for eliminating landfill, and I'm pragmatic enough to accept that waste - to - energy may be a least - bad temporary solution until we can design for
truly cradle - to - cradle manufacture, I'm saddened to see that this announcement — like so many others before it — focuses on waste treatment and management, whereas tackling waste supply — i.e. throwing away less
stuff — should always come first.
