Shepard Broad Law Center's own Joel Mintz has written a chapter on how the United States has dealt with hazardous waste in an important new book, Agenda for a Sustainable America, edited by John C. Dernbach.  Professor Mintz's chapter, titled Hazardous Waste and Superfund: Few Changes and Little Progress, hits hard at the American proclivity for dealing with environmental problems by moving them around, preferably into somebody else's backyard. His article concludes with four very specific recommendations which could well serve as a blueprint for a new administration confronting the problem of hazardous waste after far too many years of neglect.
