Regenerative Energie
Every two years, the Earth Engineering Center conducts a survey in collaboration with BioCycle on Waste Management of MSW in the United States. Each State is asked to submit data about the tons of MSW are recycled, composted, combusted and landfilled. As in a simple mass-balance, the total amount of MSW generated in the U.S. was calculated by adding up all the disposal tonnages while accounting for imported and exported waste. This year’s survey requested 2008 data (to allow sufficient data gathering by the states). The total amount of MSW generated was estimated to be 389 million tons, which corresponds to 1.28 million U.S. tons (1.16 metric tons) per capita. Of this, 18% was recycled, 6% was composted, 7% was combusted in WTE power plants, and 69% was landfilled. This presentation will describe the methodology used in this survey and the results obtained on various aspects of waste management in the U.S. in 2008.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
