[GreenYes] Stop Trashing the Climate report released today

["Brenda Platt" <bplatt@no.address>]

Hi all,

The Institute for Local Self-Reliance's joint report
with Eco-Cycle and the Global Anti-Incinerator Alliance (GAIA) is being
released today on United Nations World Environment Day.  

The
report, Stop Trashing the Climate, provides evidence that preventing
waste and expanding reuse, recycling, and composting programs -- that
is, aiming for zero waste -- is one of the fastest, cheapest, and most
effective strategies available for combating climate change.  The
report documents the link between climate change and unsustainable
patterns of consumption and wasting, dispels myths about the climate
change benefits of landfill gas recovery and waste incineration, and
offers a roadmap for change.


The 92-page full report and the 20-page Executive Summary are available on the web along with
our press release and a one-page summary of our findings.

Best,

Brenda
