Some government screw-ups are so epic that they require decades of effort. Such was the case for the recently cancelled plan to convert surplus weapons-grade plutonium into nuclear fuel. Not only did the U.S. waste $4 billion dollars, it increased the likelihood that terrorists could obtain bomb-making materials.

Do they have recycling programs?

Currently there is no state inventory system for wastes in Georgia. Therefore, data on amounts of wastes generated annually, waste types, disposal, utilization and rendering harmless are practically absent. Very limited data are scattered among different agencies.

How they treat the waste?

Air and water pollution are widespread and pose great challenges to economic development. Major sources of pollution include oil refineries and chemical and metallurgical industries, which in the early 1990s continued to operate as inefficiently as they had in the Soviet era. Air quality is extremely poor in Baku, the center of oil refining. Some reports have described Baku's air as the most polluted in the former Soviet Union, and other industrial centers suffer similar problems.

Is there pollution? What kind?

Deforestation During 2000 and 2005, the UN Food and

Agriculture Organization estimates that Indonesia lost a massive 1,87 million ha of forest every year.1 That’s 9,36 million ha over a 5-year period.

Do they have environmental problems such as deforesting or over fishing?
