What is new is the DWM cooperation. Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

You don't want that on your island. Sorting and shipping facilities are definitely more approachable for these tiny communities. Now, getting the waste sent elsewhere is another story The number one approach would be reusable water containers and a ban on individual plastic bottles. Getting the locals off of the takeaway container lunch habit would be a pretty good idea as well.
