Department of Waste

Why Is This Idea Important?: Our waste can be recycled and used for profit, new products,etc. Sweden recycles 80% of their waste why not us. Don't we have the same innovation and progressive ideas?

Since waste has become such a problem to our society we We need to have a agency who can address the ever increasing problems.

They could be under the EPA or working together, etc.

They should also have law powers against pollutors, dumpers, etc.

We should not allow our country business, etc. to dump off waste foreign countries in the ocean, etc. Nor they us.

We could demand products such as plastic toys be recycleable and of a similar type. Same with hospital waste plastics, etc.

We have so much waste they should also monitor and be given funds to do research, recycle here making new produts, or sell our garage to other countries. There is profit in those dump yards and land sites.

  2. We don't have a Department of Waste. I live in America and that's a suggestion for us.

    Where do you live in America where the federal government has a separate Department of Waste?

  3. I don't understand the negative rating on this idea. We don't have a Department of Waste under the Federal or State EPAs, etc. We need this to address serious problems with waste.

    Who voting negative...the private waste companies, industry, etc.?
