Thanks for all this stuff-- I'd like to get plugged in, so I'll work on
getting a coherent and useful message together. As I see any opportunities
to use the PCSD to magnify the networks message, I'll pass them on. One
thought that occurs to me, has there been an effort to analyze the PCSD
report for support of the network's agenda? A lot of the original ASME
thinking is reflected in several of the specific recommendations.
I'll try and pull some of this together and pass it on.
Best regards,
Scott

>MISSION STATEMENT
>The Grassroots Recycling Network is dedicated to practicing
>environmental stewardship and achieving a sustainable economy by
>reducing waste and reusing and recycling the earth's resources in ways
>that support community.
>
>WHO WE ARE
>The Grassroots Recycling Network is a coalition of community-based
>recycling activists engaged in conserving our human and natural
>resources and giving voice to the conservation ethic that more than 100
>million Americans express daily by recycling.
>
>GOALS
> Eliminate waste
> Create jobs not waste
> End welfare for wasting
>
>OBJECTIVES
>Community economic development and resource conservation
>compliment one another and should be supported through public and
>private initiatives contributing to a sustainable economy
>
>Policies and tax-payer subsidies for extracting natural resources (such
>as metals, petroleum and timber) and wasting resources in landfills
>and incinerators reflect outmoded thinking and should be eliminated.
>Until these practices are stopped, the Grassroots Recycling Network
>believes that governmental action is essential to *level the playing
>field* so that resource recovery is not put at a competitive advantage
>with wasting.
>
>Resource conservation and recovery ease some of the most damaging
>consequences of wasteful consumption. Public and private initiatives
>should seek to reduce the destruction of wildlife habitat, ancient forest
>ecosystems, pollution associated with resource extraction, and energy
>consumed in the production of materials now essential in industrial
>economies.
