Sustainable San Rafael 1/24/08 @ 7 pm

Join Sustainable San Rafael in
"Zero Waste Dialogues -
Thursday, January 24, 2008 @ 7 pm (San Rafael City Council Chambers, 1400 Fifth St)

Join Sustainable San Rafael and your Marin neighbors in an evening
of open facilitated discussion where, together, we will explore
ways to reduce unnecessary consumption and loss of our earth's
resources while we move our community to Zero Waste.

What's the right thing to do about recyling, plastic bags,
packaging, outdated and broken electronics, construction materials,
and the senseless stream of single-use, disposable, poorly-
designed, wasteful products and the systems that support them?

It's time we transform our County's system of MANAGING waste to
ELIMINATING waste. Marin County can demonstrate massive -- and
rapid -- greenhouse gas reduction by enabling effective Zero Waste
programs.

Together we will examine what we can do as responsible citizens and
what we can achieve as a community united in pursuit of zero
pollution and zero waste.
