>San Diego ? More than 120 local residents 
>attended Zero Waste San Diego?s free screening of
>Al Gore?s ?An Inconvenient Truth? at the Point 
>Loma Branch Library last night (January 31, 2007).
>Many remained following the movie to take part

>implementation of zero waste principles can help 
>decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

>?The turnout was amazing,? said guest speaker 
>Richard Anthony. ?We ran out of chairs! And it?s
>a testament to the high level of interest local 
>citizens? have regarding global warming and
>resource management. They understand these 
>issues are real and now is the time to begin
>implementing solutions.?
>
>There is no debate in the scientific community 
>that the phenomenon of global warming is
>real, and left unchecked, promises massive 
>detrimental environmental and sociological
>ramifications on an international scale.

>The zero waste concept offers a viable plan for 
>reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well
>as a multitude of benefits that include a 
>stimulated economy, the creation of jobs, and cleaner
>air and water. The program involves rethinking 
>the way products and services are engineered,
>manufactured, consumed, and discarded, and has 
>been gaining popularity worldwide as the
>most logical approach to long-term resource 
>management. New Zealand, South Australia,
>Canberra, Australia, Oregon, Toronto, Seattle, 
>Carrboro, North Carolina, and the cities of
>San Francisco, Palo Alto and Oakland and 
>counties of Del Norte, Santa Cruz, and Alameda
>in California have already adopted zero waste policies.
>
>Zero Waste San Diego has embarked on a mission 
>to introduce the concept to local
>governments, and ultimately persuade all 
>nineteen jurisdictions in the region to adopt
>zero waste goals and implement plans and 
>policies to phase out waste and achieve sustainable
>resource management.
>
>The group?s next community forum will be on 
>February 21, 2007, when they will present
>a free screening of ?Our Synthetic Sea? from 
>6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Point Loma Branch Library.
