Gil,
Re: your “Carbon Trading and Offsets” webinar, (which is fantastic!!) I wanted you to be aware that the GrassRoots Recycling Network (www.grrn.org) launched a new national education
campaign at the NRC in Denver last month called “Garbage is NOT Renewable Energy”.
I have attached our one page handout, and there is more about the campaign on
the GRRN website at http://www.grrn.org/landfill/notrenewableenergy/index.html.
Our goal is to help people understand that
garbage-based energy is not green energy, and that when folks buy carbon
offsets, they can do it right and they can do it wrong since tax breaks and “green
energy” designation has been given to the wrong technologies (bury/burn).
We have done our research and found many options for purchasing carbon offsets
that DON’T support the incinerator or landfill industries.
For those that say landfill methane capture should be incentivized and
rewarded, we say bullshit, methane generation in landfills needs to be eliminated and that capture
systems should be required and added to the cost of doing business.
Since this campaign of ours is new, we are
open to questions, criticisms, etc… but especially helpful SUGGESTIONS on
how we can get the word out that not all carbon offset programs are the same!
Let’s all support truly green energy paths, and not this crazy world of
garbage-based energy sources.
Thank you all,
Eric
