What is Waste that We Should Account for it? A Look Inside Queensland's Ecological Rucksack
While most Australians are conscious of the amount of waste that they place in garbage bins, relatively few would be aware of the waste that is generated in the course of producing the goods and services that they consume. This 'embodied waste' makes up a large part of the 'ecological rucksack' of those goods and services.This study develops a waste account for Queensland, using the ecological rucksack framework to illustrate patterns of waste pr…
How Many Carrots and What Kind of Stick? Policy Mechanisms and Rangeland Management Practices
The extent to which the rangelands are used sustainably depends on the management practices adopted by pastoralists. The administrative challenge is to develop a balanced mix of policy mechanisms that encourage sustainable land use. Conventional administrative mechanisms that operate independently of land tenure are regulations, education and extension, and financial incentives. Each of these mechanisms has its limitations. Lease conditions and m…
A Comparison of the Effects of Material and Environmental Values on Vehicle Ownership
The results of a 1988 survey of Brisbane residents demonstrate a consistent linkage between the respondent's values and their preferences for vehicle ownership and use. Through the use of the ‘Dominant Social Paradigm’ ‐ ‘New Environmental Paradigm’ theoretical framework (e.g. Cotgrove 1982) and the testing of ‘known groups’ (business people and members of the Rainbow Alliance) the following pattern emerged. The businesspeople were less willing t…
Soft Versus Hard
A distinguishing factor of western societies is their consumption of energy. In 1986, Canada, the United States, and Australia had per capita consumption rates of 6.3, 4.7, and 3.2 times the global rate, respectively (DIESA 1988). Much of this energy is supplied by fossil fuels. At present, fossil fuels are economically attractive and their relatively high energy densities make them particularly attractive for transport purposes. However, their s…
