2.  is a site for the disposal of waste materials by
burial.
 waste management purposes :
 temporary storage
 stabilize and transfer
 processing of waste material

3.  compact waste to reduce volume
 They cover waste with layers of soil or other
types of material such as woodchips and fine
particles
 They have to :
weigh waste collection vehicles
personnel may inspect loads for wastes that
are not allowed

5.  Environmental limits within humans can live
safely
 Climate Change (Atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration / Increase in radiative forcing)
 Freshwater (Global human consumption of
water)

6.  Biodiversity loss ( extinction of animals and
plants)
 Biogeochemical (nitrogen removed from the
atmosphere / phosphorus going into the
oceans)
 Ocean acidification ( Ocean getting too toxic
because of Co2 in the atmosphere)
 Land use ( the limit of how many natural
fields exist)
 Ozone depletion (limit of Ozone in the
atmosphere)

8.  Business strategy to shorten the consumer’s
ownership period in order to make more
money
 Accomplished by poor quality manufracturing

9.  Creates more waste and pollution
 Need more natural resources
