[GreenYes] Re: Zero Waste helps stop Climate Change

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@no.address>]

While this result is interesting, it has both been reported several times before by others, and limits itself to only one environmental issue - global climate change.

Rather than only considering one environmental element, I recommend that the examination be broadened to a more holistic approach, such as that used by the BEES system and European studies, and shown on the Internet at http://www.bfrl.nist.gov/oae/software/bees/model.html.

Best wishes for a wonderful 2007,

John Reindl, Recycling Manager
Dane County, WI

by Scott Smithline
California Progress Report - Oakland,CA,USA

Ton for ton, recycling reduces more pollution, saves more energy and reduces GHG emissions more than any other solid waste management option. Californians currently throw away millions  <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=260590189&url_num=2&url=http://www.cawrecycles.org/facts_and_stats> of tons of recyclable materials every year. According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, over 60 percent of the "garbage" in California landfills can be composted or recycled. Increasing recycling should be California's priority strategy for reducing global warming effects associated with solid waste management...
