REFORM legislation making it out of committee and actually having a chance at
passage since 1985. It's been a long, long time since major dailies
like USA Today
and NYTimes (editorial below) were writing about the fact that
forestry and extraction have billion dollar federal subsidy advantages over
recycling.
Hi Robin and GRRN;
I agree with Robin that this bill is extremely
important.
GRRN's mantra has been from the start in
1995:
- zero waste
- jobs from discards
- end welfare for wasting.
We published a report about Federal
subsidies at the turn of this century, www.grrn.org.
Who will take the lead and inform this list
about where this bill is and what will happen next and
when.
How can we launch a national campaign to
see this through?
If it does not pass or move on this year, why not
make it an election issue?
Robin , you the man!
Rick
