Subject: Request for ZW cities to encourage US gov't to fight climate
change with Zero Waste
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 16:07:36 -0800
In December 2008, the world's governments will convene in Poznan, Poland
to negotiate a new climate change treaty. As they grapple with possible
solutions, few realize that Zero Waste is one important solution that
lies within their grasp.
We are currently circuiting an open letter to the world's governments at:
www.globalgaia.org/poznan This letter will be delivered to many
governments (including the State Department delegation from the US, and
the Obama transition team) before the climate change meetings in
December.
It would be especially helpful to have local governments who have adopted
Zero Waste send letters to the State Department and Obama transition
team, encouraging them to pursue zero waste as a win-win solution for
climate, waste, jobs, and the environment overall. The letter above might
be a good framework to work with. I don?t know what it takes for a local
government to be able to send a letter like this, but I would be
delighted to talk with anyone interested in pursuing it.
The US Delegation is headed by:
Mr. Trigg Talley, Director, Office of Global Change, Department of
State
2201 C Street NW Room 2480 Washington, DC
(1-202) 647-3984 (1-202) 647-0191 talleyt@no.address
And we?re figuring out who to contact from the Obama transition team.

Thank you for all your good work and friendship,
Monica
