Abstract:
Governor Jim Martin and the state of North Carolina are struggling to find a home for their hazardous waste. A planned incinerator has been rejected in 15 counties due to citizen opposition and concern for public health. One solution is the forthcoming bill named the Toxic Use Reduction Act which proposes a shift toward toxic waste reduction and commitment to clean manufacturing rather than hazardous waste disposal. Businesses, politicians, and environmentalists believe a solution can be met if all sides are willing to compromise.
