Summary

COI synopsis: Nearly everywhere today a major concern is cutting back on waste to help preserve resources. But first, spot your waste! This issue spots a few obvious, and a few very strange areas where intriguing new ways are being developed for preventing waste. While other commuters are still battling with the morning rush-hour, the business men on this new style bus are already settling into their first hour’s work. Every seat in the bus is kitted out like a mini office; telephone calls can be made, letters dictated and typed. It could free our road systems of the one-man car - and, of course, it could also save the businessman considerable wasted time.
