Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) National Waste Strategy Coordinator
Unsustainable lifestyles was the number one ecological problem identified by Susan Carstairs. She spoke about materialist society contributing to us overconsuming natural resources and creating excess waste. As the waste strategy coordinator for SEPA, she knows a lot about waste in Scotland. She says that we need to move towards changing our actions and values to consume less and also to recycle and compost waste. Capitalist society has created wealth and alongside waste. She talked about the problem of exporting our waste to other less industrialized countries in which it is not properly recycled and the people working are underpaid and exploited.
Images that she spoke of are dumps, she talked about the dump near Fort William and also in Aviemore. The sollution comes from compost schemes, recycling centers and community gardens.
