Within 12 months of this project, Cooperpires had been given some additional support from the local government, in the way of toilet facilities (something that had been years in the waiting) and support for improved infrastructure. It is difficult to measure the direct impact of the video on these outcomes, but it is clearly an accumulated effort in the larger capacity building goals of the cooperative.
3.4 Waste for energy is not an option!
Waste for energy schemes have become a popular trend throughout the world. Increasingly, governments are turning to this expensive technology as a strategy to eliminate the massive burden of increasing waste and as an attractive source of energy to meet rising demands. Unfortunately, this waste management option does not take into consideration options for resource recovery, reuse, recycling and other pro- motions of waste reduction. Gutberlet (2011) highlighted serious alerts to this trend, particularly for the recycling sector.
Solid waste incineration is propagated by business and the media as an efficient management solution . . . yet, the environmental and social dimensions of this technological approach to waste often remain unconsidered. Social and environmental injustice may arise from locating these technologies and from displacing the workers who already make a living through resource recovery. Deliberating authorities often overlook the wider implications from deviating recyclable materials away from the recycling sector. (Gutberlet, 2011: p. 224)
