I'm not advocating for any particular policy approach. The environmental benefits are reducing waste going to landfills, improving the economics of that, and ensuring that the policy environment for all orders of government ensures that this disposed material is safely taken care of. Waste management, in some sense, is different from some of the other environmental issues, though they're inextricably linked, as our discussion on endocrine disruptors demonstrates. At the end of the day, we want to ensure that there's sound, appropriate management of things that are being thrown out of households. Governments have chosen certain ways in which to do that.
