Many cities across the country (and the world) are adopting zero
waste
policies, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Cajon, and Burbank.
These
policies will require that all businesses that operate within those
cities
adopt zero waste strategies.
The good news is--zero
waste practices are actually profitable for your
business! So, don't delay
finding out how you can take the lead in your
business to transition to zero
waste and start saving...just like Toyota,
Ricoh Electronics and hundreds of
other companies that have already begun
this journey!
Learn from those who have been there and join
us at the
Premier Business Conference 3rd Annual "Zero In On Zero Waste:
Don't Let
your Bottom Line Go to Waste", an exclusive event to be held
Thursday, June
26th, 2008 at the Ford Motor Company in Irvine, California.
This is a
one-of-a-kind event you don't want to
miss.

line, improves your

opportunity to learn
