sentences:  Greece is a signatory member of the Kyoto Protocol but there has been much sharp criticism from the failure to meet their intended targets for cutting carbon emissions.Many have claimed that policies have not been tough enough and the protocol has not been implemented in full owing to large business interests, though the government denies this.The government has also attracted sharp criticism about its waste management plans, as has the Mayor of Athens, though there are plans for new plants to be built to deal with the city's waste surplus.
