“Why can’t we be more like Edmonton?”

Edmonton

Aside from being a fine place to live and visit, Edmonton leads Canada in recycling and composting, keeping a remarkable 60% of its waste out of the landfill system. Listen to this panel discussion from CBC’s The Sunday Edition (entitled “Why Can’t We be More Like Edmonton?”) on how other cities in North America might work to achieve similar targets.

Not a week goes by where I don’t wish that Chittenden county had a waste management/recycling program half as good as Edmonton’s…

There should be a little more waste management here in Asia. Plastic bags everywhere, it’s unbelievable. It’s funny, when you buy a coke (small bottle), you don’t get the bottle but they pour it into a small plastic bag and give it to you together with a straw. Nevertheless, I’m glad I’m here and not in Edmonton.
