− | '''Description: ''' UN Resolution #13: MANDATORY RECYCLING (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Argument: ''' OBSERVING the need for practical recycling legislation,
| |
− |
| |
− | APPALLED by the failures of "Mandatory Recycling" to deliver suitable solutions, and its restriction on the ability of the UN to adopt more workable recycling policies,
| |
− |
| |
− | REGRETTING the lack of clear guidelines, measurable goals and regulations in aforementioned resolution,
| |
− |
| |
− | AWARE that not all member states have the industrial capacity for the scale of recycling mandated by this resolution, for which no allowance is made,
| |
− |
| |
− | CONCERNED by the irresponsibility of forcing member states without the requisite facilities to engage in this level of recycling,
| |
− |
| |
− | NOTING the distinct possibility of environmental damage caused by inappropriate recycling of materials by member states without developed, safe industrial facilities,
| |
− |
| |
− | CONSIDERING that recycling "all paper, glass, aluminum, and batteries", regardless of needs, value, other uses of these items, etc, as this resolution mandates, is not a safe, intelligent, or effective way to issue a resolution encouraging recycling,
| |
− |
| |
− | REMAINING OPEN to a replacement which adopts a more effective set of recycling regimes
