Nova Scotia, World Recycling Leader
Wired magazine is featuring a story about how Nova Scotia has reduced its waste by 50% since 1995 — and is saving money in the process:
“While recycling programs cost more than dumping trash into a big hole, a new study finds that the sparsely populated Canadian province is actually saving money by reducing its waste. When all the costs and benefits of those programs are measured, and depending on what factors are taken into account, the report says that Nova Scotia saves anywhere from $25 million to $125 million every year.”
This is really impressive.
