From prevention to creation, to the aftermath of it all.
Waste management is a global issue that affects us all. It is essential to consider the environmental, economic and social impacts of our actions when it comes to managing waste. We must start by reducing the amount of waste we generate, reusing where possible, and then recycling and disposing of our waste responsibly. We must also look to create new sources of energy and materials from our waste, such as through anaerobic digestion and incineration. Finally, we must be mindful of the potential impacts of our waste on the environment and ensure that our waste is managed in a way that minimizes its impact. Only by taking these steps can we ensure that our waste is managed in a sustainable way.Waste management is a global issue that affects us all.

“It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. … The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill-provided but use what we have wastefully.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.
Me: Usury leads to a disastrous waste management system. Could you explain that?
ChatGPT (jan23):
Usury can contribute to a disastrous waste management system in several ways. One way is through the creation of a consumer culture that prioritizes the acquisition of new goods over the responsible disposal of old ones. When individuals are under pressure to repay high-interest loans, they may be more likely to buy more than they can afford, and to dispose of items quickly, rather than repairing or recycling them. This can lead to an increase in waste, particularly if individuals are less likely to invest in sustainable products and practices.
Another way that usury can contribute to a disastrous waste management system is by creating an economic environment in which businesses are more focused on short-term profits than on long-term sustainability. When businesses are under pressure to repay high-interest loans, they may be more likely to cut corners when it comes to environmental regulations and compliance. This can lead to practices such as illegal dumping, which can cause serious environmental damage.
Finally, usury can contribute to a disastrous waste management system by exacerbating economic inequality. When low-income individuals and communities are disproportionately affected by high-interest loans, they may have less disposable income to invest in sustainable waste management practices, such as recycling and composting. This can lead to a situation where low-income communities are more likely to be affected by environmental hazards such as waste-related pollution and disease.
