From the following choices, select an introduction for a symbolic interaction analysis

   

There were deep divisions caused by the Adams Mine proposal to use the flooded mine shaft as a waste disposal site.  Environmentalists were pitted against proponents interested in the economic boom that could be derived from the disposal industry.  In the end the environmental concerns took priority and the site and any like it were legislated unavailable for use as a landfill site

   

The newly instituted user pay system in Toronto penalizes those who fill large trash cans and offers a modest rebate for those who fill small trash cans

   

Canadians have become politically motivated to resolve environmental issues, the most pressing being global warming.  However, many habits need to be changed before much positive impact on the environment will be evident.  Critical to the success of environmentalism is education that will sway beliefs and attitudes and thus change behaviours.  Canadians are beginning to recognize “green symbols” and to hold these in high esteem. Not too long ago, “Tree hugger” was a stigma that marginalized environmentalists.  Today people are showing their commitment to the three Rs of waste diversion

   

The convenience of single use products and of over-packaging has long been supported and promoted by the economy.  However, with the overflowing of landfill sites, and the exhaustion of resources, the consumerist lifestyle is causing major dysfunction, especially for the government that is responsible for waste management
