  !ce: Waste
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local amenity.
Waste management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
Disposing of waste in a landfill is the most traditional method of waste disposal, and it remains a common practice in most countries.

 Britain.tv Wikipedia - Train
In the United Kingdom, a train hauled by two locomotives is said to be "double-headed", and in Canada and the United States it is quite common for a long freight train to be headed by three, four, or even five locomotives.
Long-distance trains, sometimes crossing several countries, may have a dining car or restaurant car; they may also have sleeping cars, but not in the case of high-speed rail; these arrive at their destination before the night falls and are in competition with airliners in speed.
Tilting is a system where the passenger cars automatically lean into curves, reducing the centrifugal forces acting on passengers and permitting higher speeds on curves in the track with greater passenger comfort.

 Passenger train toilets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The traditional method of disposing human waste from trains is merely to deposit the waste onto the tracks.
Passengers may be discouraged from flushing or using toilets while the train is at a station.
Some trains may also be fitted with composting toilet tanks, which use bacterial action to break down solid and liquid waste before releasing it to the track bed by way of a chlorine sanitizing tank.

 Passenger car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Passenger cars, particularly in America, grew along with them, first getting longer with the addition of a second truck (one at each end), and wider as their suspensions improved.
High-speed trains are made up of cars from a single manufacturer and usually of a uniform design (although the dining car on the ICE has a dome).
As passenger car construction improved to the point where dome cars were introduced, some passenger car manufacturers began building double decker passenger train cars for use in areas that are more heavily populated or to carry more passengers over a long distance while using fewer cars (such as Amtrak's Superliner cars).

In the design of human communities an essential element to stability is the opportunity for individuals to contact other individuals in the normal course of life in the neighborhood.
If man's destabilization and degradation of the human ecosystem is not reversed in the future, he may not survive in sufficient numbers to be the great destabilization factor of which he is capable.
Mass transportation stabilizes human ecosystems because it encourages the development of neighborhoods and work areas of the cities, where space requirements are governed by the size and energy requirements of man rather than the size and energy requirements of the automobile.

The contribution of waste from the beach hotels in Mombasa to marine pollution was estimated to be 100, 85.4, 17.5 and 21.1 tonnes/year BOD, SS, N and P respectively.

In Lamu the main contributor to livestock waste is the 3000-odd donkey population and the slaughterhouses.

 Runaway Train (by Jim Motavalli)
Author Michael C. Ruppert points out that this oil took literally millions of years to produce, and is the result of climactic conditions that have existed on a grand scale at only one time in the Earth's 4.5 billion-year history.
"Humanity's way of life is on a collision course with geology—with the stark fact that the Earth holds a finite supply of oil.
There were 531 million passenger cars worldwide in 2002, and there will likely be more than a billion by 2020.

The human community is an element of the Earth community, not the other way around.
We humans have a moral responsibility to all of our relations, many of which are facing extinction because we carelessly and permanently halt their long evolutionary journey.
No wastes containing toxic or radioactive contaminants should be deregulated, which allows them to be used in "beneficial use" schemes as fertilizer, co-products, or fuels; or by recycling them into consumer products or disposing them as municipal waste.

Comments: PHMSA is proposing to revise the transportation requirements for infectious substances, including regulated medical waste, to adopt new classification criteria and packaging requirements consistent with revised international standards and to clarify existing requirements to promote compliance.
One of EPA's proposed changes would have allowed the uniform manifest to be prepared and transmitted electronically from the generator to the disposal facility, rather than requiring it to accompany the shipment.
PHMSA proposed to require that, if the generator of a hazardous waste prepares an electronic manifest, either a physical copy of the electronic manifest or another document containing the information required for a shipping paper must accompany the hazardous waste in transportation.
