The most telling part in the Totti article for me
was his statement, "That's not the way nature works." Indeed, nature does
not collect, aggregate and entomb its waste. It is naturally recycled and
or recovered in one form or another.

Zero Waste and Views of Others
I found John Trotti's article very well-reasoned.
The
thing to remember is that he was looking at Zero Waste 'from the waste
management standpoint' (parag 3). This naturally constrains his view. In
parag. 6 he says: ... but as waste managers our duty is equally simple:
take charge of the public's waste and see to its proper
disposition."
Couldn't be truer! We as a society gave over to
the professionals in the waste management sector responsibility for cleaning
up after us. If we don't like what we see, we should look back at that
decision.
