National Policy on Development of Community-Based Water Supply and Environmen...Oswar Mungkasa
This document summarizes Indonesia's national policy on the development of community-based water supply and environmental sanitation. The policy was presented on September 14, 2006 and signed by six echelon I officers. It aims to improve access to water and sanitation, which are only at 53.4% and 67.1% respectively. The policy adopts a community-based approach and collaborative model between government, NGOs, and communities. It also outlines eleven principles like ensuring water is treated as an economic and social good, active community participation, and cost recovery. The overall goal is for Indonesia to meet its Millennium Development Goal targets for water and sanitation by 2015.
The document discusses ways to measure and reduce the environmental impact of 1 million people. It outlines metrics like ecological footprint, carbon footprint, and water footprint to quantify impact. It then presents some ideas for how individuals and organizations could work to offset these impacts, such as through click-to-donate websites, more efficient cook stoves and toilets, sustainable investing, and policy changes. The document asks for feedback on current and potential future projects aimed at making progress on these issues.
Through this presentation, I have tried to highlight the lifestyle of the inhabitants of my city that are in line with the concept of sustainable development. I have also identified the actions that are not in line with sustainable development and can be improved upon.

Results show a 16% increase in residential recycling tons since 2009. The county is providing $20 million in grants to further automation through rollout carts and other program upgrades. The goal is to increase recycling rates to meet the state's targets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through expanded recycling infrastructure.
Smart Growth Strategies- Jennifer Bevan-DangleCleanH2O
Cleaner Waters through Smarter Growth discusses how accounting for future pollution loads from growth and adopting smart growth policies can help reduce nitrogen pollution loads to the Chesapeake Bay. It notes that 26% of future household growth will result in 63% of future nitrogen pollution load if located on septic systems rather than connected to sewer. The document advocates establishing differentiated pollution loads for different types of development, offsetting 100% of the post-development load for all new development, and allowing trading to offset loads. It also proposes policy reforms to limit sprawling subdivisions and require analysis of their environmental impacts.
The document provides an agenda and background information for a community meeting to update the comprehensive plan for Woodland Park, Colorado.

The report highlights Coca-Cola's partnerships around the world to help achieve these circular economy goals
This document summarizes California's efforts to increase organic waste diversion from landfills through legislation like AB 1826. It defines organic waste as food, green waste, wood waste, and food-soiled paper. Over 30% of California landfill waste is organic. The document outlines the timeline for implementing AB 1826, which requires businesses that generate a certain amount of organic waste per week to recycle organics. It also discusses challenges cities may face and provides recommendations for developing long-term recycling plans to meet the state's 75% diversion goal by 2020.

This document provides an outline and summary of a student project assessing municipal solid waste collection in New Juaben, Ghana. The project involved studying current waste management practices through questionnaires, interviews, and observations of residents and local officials. Key findings included that the current collection method is ineffective, residents expressed willingness to participate but through monetary contributions or manual labor rather than proper disposal methods, and diseases like malaria and diarrhea were common issues linked to poor sanitation. The conclusion recommends increasing community awareness of waste issues and providing more support from local government to address challenges in waste collection capacity and illegal dumping practices.

Next Steps … Zero Waste?
For some, the ultimate goal is “zero waste.” This doesn’t really mean “zero” waste, but rather any situation in which 10%
or less of all waste is sent to landfills. Sound impossible? It’s not. Businesses like Epson, Honda, and Pillsbury have already
achieved it at some of their sites and cities like Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle have committed to reaching
it too. Zero waste may seem difficult, but through a multifaceted approach that includes reducing, reusing,
recycling, and composting, you can reach a waste diversion rate of 90% or more!
The zero waste philosophy includes:
1. A focus on eliminating waste rather than managing it.
2. Sustainable product design, clean production, and smart packaging.
3. Smart consumption (taking or purchasing only what is needed).
4. Thinking of waste as a potentially valuable resource worth recovering.
And what about you? Is your household close to zero waste? Are you recycling
everything that can be recycled? Think about the things you throw away in your
home. Are there ways you could prevent this from happening? Could you reuse
some of the items or could someone else reuse them? Finally, after reducing and
reusing, are you properly composting organic materials in your backyard so that you
can get closer to being a zero waste household?
Our website includes information about composting and other waste reduction
strategies that you may find helpful. See if you can meet the next challenge: become
a zero waste household.
