Good work, everyone!

I googled the catchier wording (If you're not for zero waste...) and
found:

an editorial in MSW Management saying that buttons were passed out at a
Jan 02 NRC meeting:

In late January 2002, Michael Jessen picked it up (with the
Canadian turn of phrasing) in an article at:

NCRA presented "Waste Side Story" using the line at a CRRA
conference in July, 2003:

Anyone know who brought it to NRC in 2002? Eric Lombardi??? John
Davis???
