[GreenYes] Re: Landfills Methane and Global warming

[Ted Smith <tsmith@svtc.org>]

Hi John,
I'm very interested. In fact I'm writing a grant to the turner foundation
right now to get funds to divert organic waste here in Georgia. Raising
tipping fees at landfills and on incineration is the capitalistic way to
help to P2. Unfortunately Georgia and other states with low tipping fees
are in a situation where there is no monetary incentive to divert and
recycle. I'm tired of trying to turn a profit doing something that is so
vital to the global environment. This just needs to be done.
