Management of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE also called e-waste) has become an issue of critical importance recently also in the frame of industrial ecology besides waste management per se, mostly due to their content in hazardous materials and the extensive implications of any intervention in a broad industrial spectrum. The effectiveness of any landfill diversion scheme depends on its acceptance by the local community and the industry, as well as adequate funding. This paper presents a contingent valuation approach in order to examine public environmental awareness and to assess the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the environmentally sound management of WEEE in Greece, based on a suitable, customized and easy-to-comprehend questionnaire. The survey revealed a still relative public ignorance on the subject and a reluctantly limited WTP. The latter is mostly triggered by the fact that respondents believed that associated expenses should be covered either by authorities or manufacturers (protest votes). However, based on the responses of those declaring a positive WTP, the average fee respondents are willing to pay exceeds the current recycling fee. Thus, existing recycling fees could be potentially increased in order to cover additional expenses for the development of infrastructure in areas not currently included in the national WEEE recycling program, as well as to provide the public with a dense network of disposal sites/bins in an effort to boost participation and WEEE recycling rates.

The first studies regarding the constitution of the Araruama lagoonal system, located in the Rio de Janeiro state (SE Brazil), were carried out by Alberto Ribeiro Lamego. This author supported the thesis that it had resulted from the formation of a sand barrier (called Massambaba) due to the longitudinal transport of large quantities of sediments through coastal drift currents, and the growth of spits parallel to the shoreline. However, most recent studies largely rejected it, sustaining that the confinement of these hydric environments was the result of the growth of two sand barriers during the Pleistocene and Holocene times (120.000 to 7.000 years before present - BP) due to the sea level changes. The hypothesis that we suggest, is that both propositions are acceptable and complementary. This study aims to demonstrate that, despite the opinions on the formation of the double sand barrier, deposition of sediments by coastal drift currents at the end of the Holocene, and especially in recent chronologies, also contributed to the establishment of this lagoon system. In our opinion, the increased sediment supplies due to human activities contributed to the formation of the inner spits and the nearby sea sandbar. Its orientation was influenced by the existence of the island of Cabo Frio, that allowed the formation of the tombolo that almost connected it to the continent. Through the analysis of historical and cartographic documents related to the colonization and economic exploitation of the region, it is evident that the anthropogenic actions played a significant role in the sandy spits formation. Of these, special emphasis is placed on the agriculture and deforestation that contributed to the increase of sedimentary accumulation. This work demonstrate that the analysis of historical documents can provide information and contribute to the understanding of recent coastal developments. ResumoOs primeiros estudos sobre a constituição do sistema lagunar de Araruama, localizado no estado do Rio de Janeiro (SE Brasil), foram realizados por Alberto Ribeiro Lamego. Este autor apoiou a tese de que este sistema lagunar resultou da formação de uma barreira arenosa (denominada Massambaba) na sequência do transporte longitudinal de grandes quantidades de sedimentos através das correntes costeiras de deriva litorânea e ao crescimento de flechas arenosas paralelas à linha de costa. No entanto, estudos mais recentes, rejeitaram amplamente esta hipótese, e sugeriram que o confinamento desses ambientes lagunares resultou do crescimento de duas barreiras arenosas na sequência de mudanças no nível do mar ocorridas durante os períodos Pleistocénicos e Holocênico (120.000 a 7.000 anos antes do presente - BP). A hipótese que sugerimos é que ambas as hipóteses são aceitáveis e complementares. Este estudo tem como objetivo demonstrar que, apesar das opiniões sobre a formação da dupla barreira de areia, a deposição de sedimentos por correntes de deriva costeira no final do Holoceno, e principalmente em cronologias recentes, também contribuiu para o estabelecimento deste sistema lagunar. Em nossa opinião, o aumento do fornecimento de sedimentos devido às atividades humanas contribuiu para a formação das flechas arenosas interiores e do banco de areia exterior, próximo do mar. A sua orientação foi influenciada pela existência da ilha de Cabo Frio, que permitiu a formação do tombolo que quase a conectou ao continente.Através da análise de documentos históricos e cartográficos relacionados com a colonização e exploração econômica da região, evidencia-se que as ações antropogênicas tiveram um papel significativo na formação das flechas arenosas. De entre estas, salienta-se especialmente a agricultura e o desmatamento que contribuíram para o aumento da acumulação sedimentar. Este trabalho evidencia que a análise de documentos históricos pode fornecer informações e contribuir para a compreensão da evolução recente do litoral.
