GRASSROOTS RECYCLING NETWORK
MISSION STATEMENT The Grassroots Recycling Network is dedicated to
environmental stewardship and achieving a sustainable economy by eliminating
waste and reusing, recycling and composting resources which will support
community economic growth, create jobs, save wilderness, reduce pollution and
conserve natural resources.
WHO WE ARE The Grassroots Recycling Network is a coalition of community-based
reuse, recycling and composting 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
Zero Waste
Create Jobs Not Waste
End Corporate Welfare for Waste
OBJECTIVES
? Invest in reduction, reuse, recycling, composting and the manufacture and
purchase of reused, recycled and composted products.
? Require manufacturers to design products and packaging for reuse, recycling
and composting and price them to reflect their full environmental costs.
? Stop policies and subsidies for wasting resources in landfills and
incinerators and for mining, harvesting and wasting our natural resources (such
as metals, petroleum and timber).
? Oppose policies and practices that transfer environmental and financial
liabilities to future generations (such as "dry tomb" landfills).
