Abstract

Microsoft Word - DOMESTIC GENERATION REPORT_small.doc 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge the assistances and help of everyone in carrying out the two surveys in 2006 and 2007, which provide the basis of this report. Without your contribution, we would not be able to put together this report Firstly, I would like to commend the great contributions from the students of the National University of Samoa whose assistances had made the practical aspects of this study possible. We also want to specially thank the National University of Samoa for allowing the students to participate during these two separate surveys in 2006 and 2007. Your on going participation in carrying out similar surveys in the future is needed in order for the government to have the required baseline information required for appropriate future programs and actions. Secondly, I wish to thank the Meteorology Division for offering funds to implement these two separate solid waste surveys on Upolu and Savaii
