• W361485105 abstract "In 1999, despite having the only municipal incinerator in the insular Commonwealth Caribbean, substantial growth in solid-waste quantities threatened to precipitate a crisis in Tortola, BVI. Considering the implications for limits to growth reflected in this problem revealed that Caribbean small island states have been neglected by and are neglecting the question of physically assessing progress towards sustainability. This is unfortunate both for the islands themselves which are in critical need of some practical means to monitor their situation and because of the insights that examination of island problems may provide to the larger world context. The entropic nature of economic processes determines that material flows are the physical basis for sustaining human economies. Understanding this, the utility of waste as a sustainability indicator in Tortola was explored. Analysis of socio-economic data, waste management system capacity, waste receipt data, and estimates of resident vs. tourist contribution to Tortola's waste stream evidenced two unsustainable trends. First, increasing waste ouput per unit of economic input. Second, the tourist population exceeding the island's carrying capacity as delimited by island’s present capacity to store, collect, treat and dispose of wastes. Waste was therefore shown to be a viable indicator. It is recommended that Tortola develop material-flow accounts and provide an example for other Caribbean island countries.
