I'm posting this for a friend who is a Professor of Environmental
Education at another university.  If you can help, please e-mail me,
rather than post a response, as I'm not really able to fathom all the
stuff in these newsgroups in addition to the ones that I follow for my
own work.

What she would like to know pertains to the use of Incinerators in
Japan, and also in Europe.  In Ontario, incineration is a taboo topic,
so the government is destroying A1 farmland to use as dumps.  But what
about smaller countries, where space is not available.  These
countries obviously have active recycling programs, but what about
that which does not get recycled?  Do these countries have any
advanced technology for incineration?  Does Japan do more with its
refuse than build airports in Osaka harbour with it?

My friend really appreciates my posting this request (which is nothing
cause I owe her a few), so I'll pass along her thanks to those who
should get it--any of you who can pass some information back to me.

Thanks in advance,

Jason Nolan
