Re: [GreenYes] Tourism and recycling

["Jayakumar" <thanal@md4.vsnl.net.in>]

hello
i am jayan writing from kerala 
we are  also interested in this. We are a small group from kerala, 
India .

We launched a anti incineration campaign in kerala in 1999 june 
along with greenpeace and succeeded in stopping that. But the 
waste problem was still to be addressed and last february . We with 
support and guidance from GAIA started the zerowaste kovalam 
initiative . we are attempting to develop a document which will 
address all aspects of waste and currently three people are digging 
around for informations. We found it quite useful to learn from many 
of you and if you have suggestions and experience to share we are 
keen to hear from you all. 

we have good expertise in understanding tourism , we know the local 
political structure and functioning and we are learning community 
ways to handle waste 

jayan
