can be arranged.

Small offices are putting
their paper into the recycle
stream by forming co-ops.

over five years. The tipping fee
pays for it. In June the fee
increases to $30 per tonne from
$22 per tonne, to shift the
burden of running the landfill
away from taxpayers.

“We’re making recycling
more attractive and landfilling
more expensive, Leonard says.

And recycling, reducing and
re-using are the best ways, so
far, of dealing with mass.
“There's no gun you can point
at things and make them disappear, like on
Star Trek,” says Leonard. “You can transform
