Beyond Superfailure: America's Toxics Policy For The 1990s - Tapa blanda

Employing case studies and examples from all over America and abroad, the authors chronicle the history of toxics disasters and success stories and recommend basic changes in the way the US should handle environmental problems of all types in the future. Chief among these prescriptions is a new emphasis on community-based discussion and decision-making, in combination with federal macrolevel policy guidelines and industry-initiated policy innovations. The authors set forth detailed suggestions for ways to replace today's political inertia with initiatives they characterize as "positive action compliance, positive action permitting and positive action cleanup".
