    Hello GreenYes:
    I am writing from Plymouth Minnesota. I am the Solid Waste Coordinator for
    the city and we are currently researching the use and potential purchase of
    a hybrid auto to include in our pool of city vehicles. I am looking for
    some information (facts/figures) on the benefits to using a ULEV auto. What
    is the reduction in pollution and ultimate effect on the green house gas
    effects. Given this is a California emission standard, anyone from CRRA
    have some figures available? Thanks for your help.

                    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

                    Regarding the Washington Post article, over the
                    years I have heard Mr. Porter make some strange
                    comments but luckily, the audience has either
                    been small enough or astute enough that the
                    damage is controllable. Given his credentials,
                    one would think that a person in Mr. Porter's
                    position would know better. Living up to last
                    year's resolution to be kinder, I could suppose
                    that his comments were taken out of context by
                    the reporter. Living up to this year's
                    resolution that it is easier to accomplish my
                    goal if the goal is to bring everyone else down
                    to my level, I could suppose that this is just
                    what Mr. Porter said. Alas, when I put these
                    comments into the context of the others, I must
                    conclude that he did indeed say that.His comments
                    in this vast arena give me the shivers and I was
                    wondering if anyone else had the same reaction.

                    Maybe we just need a simple fact sheet on
                    recycling that addresses the basic issues of 1.
                    What does recycling cost? 2. What does trash
                    cost? 3. What is included in "cost?" 4. Why is
                    the easier and cheaper way the "better" way? 5.
                    What is "better" anyway? Better for whom, better
                    when, better than what? 6. Is the value of
                    recycling absolute or is it on a continuum? Is
                    the value measured discretely by each local
                    government involved in collection programs or is
                    it to be measured in the regional, statewide,
                    national and global aggregate? 7. Is the benefit
                    to be measured in the short term (as in "I must
                    have money in the bank: I have still have
                    checks!) or is it to be measured in the long
                    terms (as in mutual funds when we have to stay in
                    it for the long term if we want a return on our
                    investment). 8. If the process of recycling
                    produces pollution, isn't there a baseline
                    against which the amount of pollution should be
                    measured or are we again looking at an "absolute"
                    versus "relative" impact.

                    After I read Mr. Porter's comments about having
                    already captured the "easy -to-get stuff" and his
                    query of whether we really want to collect and
                    recycle "hot dog wrappers and kitty litter" I
                    then came across an article by Chaz Miller in
                    which he is discussing the "value" of recycling
                    and makes a comment about the "law of diminishing
                    returns." I respect Mr. Miller and have for a
                    long time so I am not trying to put him into an
                    association with Mr. Porter. I mention Chaz
                    because the concept of the law of diminishing
                    returns is more appropriate when examining the
                    dregs of a program or the dregs of a population
                    base and you try to determine if the financial
                    cost outweighs the environmental benefit. It
                    seems to me that Mr. Porter has started in on the
                    law of diminishing returns not in relation to the
                    dregs of the program but way before the national
                    apex has been reached.

                    These little wars keep cropping up because we do
                    not have a united vision on recycling. It's a
                    large country and we are very fragmented. I see
                    the division as analogous to democrats versus
                    republicans. The republicans ask "what is the
                    immediate financial cost?" and the democrats tend
                    to reply "who cares,it's for kids and grandkids."
                     Neither side validates the other's view and the
                    dichotomy continues. When do we get to a party
                    of "demolicans" or "republicrats" who agree that
                    it is inherently wrong to waste our resources
                    just because we can and because it is easier?
                    When do we agree that "cost" is not simply a
                    matter of dollars? When do we agree that the
                    philosphy of recycling is good because it is a
                    long-term strategy based on conservation of what
                    we have? When do we agree that when dealing with
                    the dregs, it does not make sense to go after the
                    small amounts be they small amounts of materials
                    in small communities or be they small amounts
                    left over after the majority has been recycled.

                    Maybe there is one party that will come out of
                    this all: the Redems. Now there's an idea!

                    That is certainly good news especially considering that
    glass
                    typically has a fair of amount of recycled content. Now
    let's hope
                    that the distribution is widespread.

                    Some facts on the Coke bottle. It is mainly for promotional
    purposes (e.g.,
                    it will first be linked to the Super Bowl ads, etc.) and is
    tied to the
                    relaunching of Coke Classic. They'll give away one million
    cold sodas in
                    glass at movie theaters, shopping malls, etc. It will then
    be sold in 75
                    metropolitan areas, but mostly in cold cases at convenience
    markets. Thus,
                    the vast majority of Coke will still be marketed in plastic
    and aluminum.

                    Larry--

                    I agree with the sentiment, but to be "technically correct",
    they are returnable for deposit in the 10 states and 1 municipality which
    REQUIRE them to do so. The more important issue, and I'm sure is what you
    were alluding to is that these "designer/image" bottles are not REFILLABLE,
    and thus do not yield the environmental benefits of multi-use; even better
    net energy savings than any transport gains of use of plastic.

                    And, the 6-packs in our area are about $4 for 48 TOTAL
    ounces of product!! Usually, the 8 packs of 20 oz plastic bottles are on
    "sale" for $2.50--about 25% of the cost per ounce! Quite an economic
    disincentive to buy the recycled/recyclable one-use glass! No wonder they
    can claim that the consumers overwhelming choice is for plastic!

                    I prefer aluminum cans myself over glass and plastic, which
    is most commonly recycled. Canned sodas can often be found on sale and
    doesn't shatter as glass does. While we're speaking of packaging, 6 pack
    rings, and 12/24 pack paperboard is difficult to recycle. Are #4(LDPE)
    plastic rings recyclable with #4(LDPE) plastic grocery bags?

                    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that while
    the these
                    'classic' hourglass glass bottle LOOK like the old fashioned
    returnable
                    glass bottles, Coke is not taking them back for refilling.
    These bottles
                    are more wasteful than the one-way stubby Coke bottles of
    not-to-distant
                    past because they are heavier than the stubbies. What is
    worse -- they are
                    actually refillable bottles that Coke refuses to refill.

                    This is hardly a step in the right direction and certainly
    nothing to cheer
                    about. In fact, it might qualify as the first BOO of the
    21st century,
                    except that they've been marketing this no-return, classic
    bottle for
                    several years.

                    Hold your cheers!!!!!

                    Please let me know of towns that provide recycling and trash
    service

    > Massachusetts).

                    New York City Dept of Sanitation collects garbage and
    recyclables from all
                    residential buildings (all sizes) and institutions in the
    City. These are
                    collected on the same routes, irrespective of size (i.e.
    they don't have
                    special routes for special buildings, with one exception:
    there is a
                    containerized recycling program where dumpsters are issued
    to especially
                    large apartment buildings). Recyclables have been collected
    from apartment
                    buildings since 1988. The current overall diversion rate of
    the
                    residential recycling program (all sizes of buildings) is
    just under 20%.

                    I just heard on the radio that the National Endowment for
    the Arts is
                    funding an anthropologist to New Guinea to study the
    cultural and
                    sociological implications of Coke.

                    That would be a study to read... it would give more
    understanding to the
                    popularity of Coke and perhaps ammunition to the cause.
