Zero Waste Forum in Elmira, Dec. 12, 2007
The Finger Lakes Group held a very successful forum on zero waste with Lynne Pledger, a member of the national Sierra Club's Zero Waste Committee from Hardwick, Massachusetts, on December 12, 2007, at the Steele Memorial Library, in Elmira. Almost 70 people turned out on a cold winter evening to learn about the role our production/disposal cycle is playing in the Global Warming crisis, how other communities are moving forward with Zero Waste, and what we can and must do to implement Zero Waste initiatives in our area. For more information contact Robin De Lill Stroman, Finger Lakes Group Zero Waste Committee Chair at (607)529-3510 or stromanhome at earthlink.net
