Social issues have a life cycle. There are five statements that follow. Each statement describes a step in the lifecycle of the waste issue in Canada, particularly how it is unfolding in Ontario. Order each statement according to its place in the lifecycle. So far, less than 50% of recoverable garbage has been diverted from the landfills, so environmental groups are stepping up their efforts to have environmental measures as a crucial plank in the platforms of the ruling political parties In the wake of the Adams Mine proposal, citizens across the country and particularly in Ontario became aware of the looming garbage crisis. Today, the threat of global warming and the concern about the volume of disposed water bottles have prompted many citizen groups to join environmental groups like the David Suzuki Organization to call for the government to make waste diversion a priority Through media coverage, Adams Mine exposed the garbage issue to the public. Since then, a strong media campaign aimed at encouraging waste diversion and green initiatives have kept the garbage crisis in the public’s view. Most recently in Ontario, the media coverage of the protests against locating a garbage dump on the artesian wells near Alliston have rekindled an interest in the waste issue facing Canada Just recently, the public support appears to have shifted, so it is more aligned with the environmental side than it is with the corporate/consumerist side. However, there is much to be done to actually change the habits of the public, so that sustainable development can be achieved To date a number of initiatives have been undertaken in an effort to reduce the flow of garbage to the landfill sites. Some of these are the establishment of the WDO Waste Diversion Ontario, the institution of “Bag it Back” bottle return program, and the blue, grey and green box systems
