“Something is Rotten in Durban” initiates the discussion of illegal dumping of waste, with news of the death of little Jordan Lewis, in a bold attempt to draw the reader’s attention to the criminality and seriousness of illegal dumping.
At best it attempts to describe this worldwide phenomenon of illegal waste dumping as it plays out in the dirty streets of South Africa.
Reviewing Environmental Impact Assessments (Kindle)
Many communities directly impacted on by development activities, generally find it intimidating to contribute, let alone comment on EIA processes and reports. They are usually bombarded with scientific and environmental jargon (sometimes deliberately), and if they do comment or contribute, they do so without fully appreciating their own rights and the obligations of the developer or EAP. It is hoped that this book empowers civil society to become active participants in EIA processes pertaining to developments and activities affecting their health and well-being.
