Staying environmentally correct
Article Abstract:
One of the major challenges expected to face housing agencies in the 21st century is the building of houses that are attractive and cause no damage to the environment. There is increasing acceptance of the notion that environmental protection and economic development are intertwined concepts which cannot be viewed separately. Waste recycling presents one of the most sensible and simplest paths to environmental correctness that human and community development managers can take. A recycling plan can work if efforts are made to raise the residents' awareness of the objectives of the plan and to train these people in handling recyclables. Sensible recycling not only offers a way to create a clean environment, it is also possible for new industries and job opportunities to spring from it and stimulate the economy.
