Getting CT to a 61% Recycle Rate

The adopted Solid Waste Plan of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection sets a goal of increasing the percentage of Connecticut mixed municipal refuse that is recycled from its current rate of 25 - 30% to 61% by 2024. It is believed that if that percentage of recycling is achieved, Connecticut residents will no longer have to pay the high costs of disposing of some of the state's incincerator ash and solid waste in surrounding states.

For this assignment, please develop ideas for how this goal can be achieved. Twelve (12) ideas in total must be developed as follows:

1) Four (4) short-term ideas to be implemented by 2020

2) Four (4) intermediate-term ideas to be implemented by 2022, and

3) Four (4) long-term ideas to be implemented by 2024, the year in which the 61% recycle rate is to be met.

This is going to be a difficult goal to reach for Connecticut "The Land of Steady Habits".

please answer the question as it needed. and i typed the answer for me please. thank you
