Waste Management - Majuro atoll - Republic of the Marshall Islands
Abstract
The traditional way of life has been, of necessity, an ecologically sustainable one. With care of the environment essential for future generations to benefit from the resources. However, the introduction of a cash economy and the need to satisfy increasing financial demands have led to increasing pressures on natural resources. Environmental degradation is now becoming more visible in the urbanised areas where resource use and rapidly changing lifestyles are generating non-biological wastes such as aluminium cans, plastics, and abandoned vehicles. Solid waste accumulation is a major issue in the major population centres of Majuro and Ebeye.
