Reference no: EM13307894

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published the following data for municipal solid waste generation (in millions of tons).

 

 Year:    1960    1965    1970     1975    1980    1985    1990    1995     2000

            MSW:     88       104      121      128      152      166      205      221      249

a) Assume that the growth is exponential (i.e., plot the log of generation versus time) and calculate a value for the annual growth rate (% / yr).

b) If the annual rate of population growth is 1.8%, calculate a value of the annual rate of growth in per capita generation of solid waste.

c) Estimate a value of MSW generation in the year 2025.

d) Suggest one method that might be used to decrease the rate of growth in per capita generation rate
