>REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS - ZERO WASTE COMMITTEE
>
>The Sierra Club's Environmental Quality Strategy Team (EQST) is seeking
>members for the National Zero Waste Committee. The mission of the Zero
>Waste Committee is to promote Zero Waste as a design principle for the 21st
>century, and Producer Responsibility Recycling is the means for achieving a
>deep transformation of wasteful production and consumption. We aim to lead
>the transition from traditional end-of-pipe waste "diversion" programs
>provided by local governments to "cradle to cradle" recycling systems
>designed, financed, and managed by producers, in order to drive
>improvements in product design, stimulate local economies and reduce
>climate change impacts of transportation and energy-intensive product
>chains. Phasing out landfilling and incinerating discarded resources is
>prerequisite to Zero Waste; hence the committee also coordinates Club work
>on waste disposal issues.
>
>The Sierra Club's Zero Waste Committee will provide volunteer oversight,
>coordination and action on waste-related issues, with a focus on Zero Waste
>and Producer Responsibility-based Recycling.
>
>The Sierra Club is opposed to wasting, we encourage the recovery of
>valuable commodities used in products and packaging at the end of their
>useful lives and encourage sustainable design, production and packaging of
>consumer products and services so as to decrease impacts upon the planet.
>Service on the Zero Waste Committee requires a genuine commitment of time
>and energy.
>
>Applicants must clearly demonstrate their willingness to commit the time
>and energy necessary to help the Committee carry out its responsibilities.
>We are only accepting self-nominations, so please pass this announcement on
>to others who may have an interest.
