selective sorting ??? sad pleonasm ... if it weren't selective sorting it would be mixed sorting?

common sense avoids waste ... it is rather the stacking of tax, health, administrative regulations, which ends up imposing waste

so if the state wants to do something useful, before making laws to prohibit waste it should first remove the laws that cause waste!

when is the simplification shock?

alas meanwhile it's every day the shock of complication ...

Absolutely!

I increasingly think that corporate taxation is the worst enemy of ecology.

It was set up with the aim of growth and perpetual increase in GDP and therefore rewards consumption as much as investment ...

I do not speak in a vacuum: it will be 10 years that I am independent! Yes, this year the store will be 10 years old !!

this point is important following COP21

what can a state do to commit to reducing energy consumption? only wishful thinking if he does not use the main tool of government! Taxation !

tax rules should be changed at all levels to encourage financial savings

and I put in taxes the social charges on work

when in a business there is a waste to avoid but it requires work, the boss does not want us to waste time saving energy or matter, because working time is more taxed than the matter or the energy that we could gain

shifting social charges to other taxes is taboo in France because of the joint management of social security ... this independence from the rest of the state budget is bad: for example pollution by fossil fuels is a cause of sickness: why not tax energy heavily to finance security and reduce social charges in a balanced way on everyone!

with such a

charge placement the average Frenchman will keep the same purchasing power ... those who consume more energy will be penalized, those who save more than the average will be favored

such a tax incentive would be effective at all levels and would encourage all small actions, and small streams make big rivers ... hela the fashion of the current government is to seek to encourage improvements by gas factories, like credit d tax, which can only be used by those who can afford to make enough money to justify the costs

these tax credits distort trade to the point of causing fraud: see the merchant of heat pumps or photovoltaic

a reduction of load on the craftsmen of the building and an increase of tax on energy would make it easier for everyone to choose to do good work to save money ... whereas currently the craftsmen are so expensive which is easier to keep wasting

I even think that the urgency in the improvement and the construction of housing would justify a complete abolition of the charges on the craftsmen of the building! ... as well as for a number of vital industrial activities

Chatelot16 had good ideas.
On the occasion of the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, which took place on October 13, the Minister of Agriculture Julien Denormandie and the Minister of Ecological Transition Barbara Pompili reaffirmed the commitment made by the France to reduce food waste by 50% by 2025. According to the Ecological Transition Agency (Ademe), in France, each year, nearly 10 million tonnes of consumable food are wasted, or the equivalent 150 kg per inhabitant. Globally, the numbers are even more impressive as, according to official data, 14% of food produced is lost between harvest and marketing, and 17% of total global food production is wasted.
However, in agriculture the "invisible waste" is much more important. Maybe not for everyone to understand.
In fact, everything that promotes production close to yield potential, namely genetics, plant protection, availability of water and nitrogen, represent the best instruments against the first waste in the food chain, this “waste”. invisible ”mentioned nowhere. https://www.agriculture-environnement.f ... production
There is another waste, it is the human excreta whose nitrates and phosphates end up in pollution in the rivers, for lack of being able to be sufficiently reprocessed.
It is a white waste of fertilizers for agriculture and that too we do not talk about.
