Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Economics Economics is the field that is concerned with the allocation of scarce resources to meet human needs. This includes what is produced, how it is produced, and how the output is distributed. It is concerned with the costs of producing and distributing goods and services. The cost of using scarce resources for any one end is that those resources could be used for some other purpose. If we choose to spend the afternoon playing basketball, we can't use that time to study. If we purchase a sports utility vehicle, we are making a decision that benefits, such as safety or convenience, outweigh the costs of purchasing a smaller, more fuel-efficient car. Economics is an important tool for making decisions about the conservation and protection of natural resources because it provides information about the choices people make, the costs and benefits of proposed measures, and the likely outcome of environmental (and other) policies. For example, if a city wants to encourage households to recycle, it might charge for trash pickup according to the total weight of trash the household generates. People would have an incentive to reduce the amount of trash they throw out. Incentives do not have to be monetary. A World Bank paper, for example, describes Indonesia's efforts to control pollution by publicizing how much each of the country's factories pollute. Avoiding bad publicity can be an incentive. Environmental and other public policies are most effective when they achieve the maximum possible benefits in the most efficient way. Resourceshuman, natural, monetaryare not infinite. Policymakers, therefore, try to understand how resources can be utilized most efficiently to accomplish the desired goals by weighing the costs of various alternatives with their potential benefits.

114. The Diaper Decision - Not A Clear Issue, HYG-5503-90 A Ohio State University Extension fact sheet on cloth vs. disposable exploring the health, economics, and environmental points of view. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5503.html

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Textiles and Clothing 1787 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210-1295 The Diaper Decision - Not A Clear Issue HYG-5503-90 Joyce A. Smith Norma Pitts Choice of diapers, cloth or disposable, impacts on environmental, health and economic concerns. Currently, neither diaper type is clearly superior in all areas. An understanding of the issues provides some basis for responsible choice. Introduced in 1961, disposable diapers now dominate the market, accounting for 80 percent of the diapers used in the United States. Convenience is the major reason given by parents, particularly in dual-career families where time for cloth diaper care is limited. Group day care restrictions requiring single use diapers by registrants also influence choice of diapering method. Families without access to home laundry equipment find care of cloth diapers burdensome. Associated with the convenience and market penetration of single use diapers is waste disposal. The average child uses over 5,000 diapers during the 30 month period before toilet training, contributing to a total of over 16 billion diapers or 2.7 million tons of single use diapers requiring disposal each year (1). Disposable diapers account for an estimated 1.5 to 2.0 percent of municipal solid waste, contributing to the existing problem of landfill availability and escalating cost of solid waste management (1,2). Environment Disposable Diapers With landfills reaching capacity and dumping costs expected to quadruple by the year 2000, solutions for disposal of all solid waste, including disposable diapers, is a critical concern. Nearly $300 million is spent annually to discard single use diapers. Disposable diapers generate four times as much solid waste as cloth diapers. An archaeological study of garbage from 1977 to 1985 determined that while fast food packaging accounted for 0.1 percent by weight of solid waste in landfills, disposable diapers accounted for slightly under 1.0 percent or nine to ten times that amount (3). However, some additional concerns regarding the decomposition of disposable diapers and resulting by-products must be considered.

CLF Goes Back to Court to End Overfishing and Protect Georges Bank Cod Continued overfishing endangers the rich marine life of Georges Bank. Sign up for CLF's free email newsletter today! CLF and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are going back to court to ask a federal judge to force the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to end overfishing of Georges Bank cod and four other severely depleted groundfish species. In December 2001, in response to CLF's landmark lawsuit, a federal court required the New England Fisheries Management Council (NEFMC) to create new rules to end overfishing. At a contentious meeting in November 2003, NEFMC approved a new management plan, known as Amendment 13, aimed at rebuilding New England's depleted groundfish stocks. In their complaint, filed today, CLF and NRDC allege that the new rules do not meet the requirements of the court order because they allowing overfishing to continue. Read more Georges Bank Cod in Trouble Once New England's signature fish species, Georges Bank cod shows almost no signs of recovery from record low numbers hit in the mid-1990s. The current population for Georges Bank cod is less than 15% of what is considered healthy and sustainable. Amendment 13 allows fishing of Georges Bank cod and other species to continue at levels far higher than recommended by NMFS' own scientists.
