A slide presentation transferred to film, Waste Management-A Time for Action is a short, fact-filled documentary designed to inform the public of the urgent need for safe and effective methods of tracking, treating and disposing of or storing hazardous waste. The film explains what hazardous waste is, how we have disposed of it in the past, and how we must dispose of it in the future if we are to protect our environment and reduce health risks. It also gives several examples of how individuals and industry can and are decreasing the risks of hazardous waste by reduction, recovery, re-use and recycling.
