industrial waste
• Government need to provide more oversight including management of land
and water resources
• Foreign Aid to countries needs to be transparent including audits and
oversight
• There needs to proper balance between the economy and the environment
• More pressure needs to be put on heavy polluters like India and China to
bring in higher standards when it comes to both land and water
management
