2.  The terrestrial resource issue I have created a
management and sustainment plan for is solid
waste. Solid waste is a large issue all over the
world. There are many ways that I can help
my community to cut down on the amount of
solid waste that we generate.

3.  The item to be addressed is solid waste. Solid
waste is garbage, tires, cans, plastics, and some
metals. One thing I can do is research the topic
and then develop a plan to cut down on the
amount of waste the community is disposing
of. Once I have a plan in place, I can arrange a
presentation and schedule a time to meet with
fellow community members.

4.  The first thing I would do is research the effects
of solid waste in the environment, then
develop a strategy for educating the
community. Once I have a solid plan in place I
can schedule a time and date to meet with
other community members. Once this has been
done I would publicly invite the community to
join me for this educational session.

5.  The most important part of this plan is securing
the location of the meeting. I can go to the city
council and request to address this issue. Once
this is done I can then invite the members of
the community to hear my presentation. The
presentation will include recycling information,
landfill information, and waste management
information. I will gather all the information I
can from the cities resources to share with the
community.

6.  The research for this presentation will take
approximately one full month to get all of the
data needed to devise a plan. Once the
research is finished it will take another month
to organize a plan of attack. Once this item has
been introduced to the community we will give
it three months to be fully implemented. Once
we implement the plan we will spend another
two months evaluating the results, and
feedback from the community and the city.

7.  Solid waste plays a major role in today’s
environmental issues. Consumers are faced
with the issue of disposing of waste on a daily
basis and often don’t fully understand their
options. My plan will help the community to
understand how to make their community a
better place.
