Limits to Managing the Environment - Implementing Environmental and Resource Management - page 210

In Chapter 21, focusing on how Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
outsources emissions, the author renders a discourse on ecological modernisation
and its respective short-comings. Through this angle, an understanding of CDM as
externalising, rather than internalising, carbon emissions emerges. Finally,
Chapter 22 on Sustaining Waste ascertains the need for analysis to be theoretically
informed by problematising the hegemonic practice of recycling. The practical use
of theoretically reconceptualising an environmental manager who is setting up a
recycling scheme - which sustains, rather than challenges, the mode of resource
consumption - is illustrated.
