[Oe List ...] San Francisco as first zero-waste city

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Below is a passage from John  Cock's blog today. Wanted to brag a little on 
Jesse Woltjer, son of Gil and  Lynn. They were in the order in 5th City, 
Jeju-do and Australia  in the early 70's. Jesse works for the city of San 
Francisco, writing software  for the waste management department. Last time I 
talked to him, he was  developing a search engine with which anyone in the 
city could find a  source to recycle stuff.

_Recology_ (http://www.recology.com/) , a  waste-management company based 
in San Francisco, is working with the city  of San Francisco to help it 
become the country’s first zero-waste city…. If they’re  successful, all of San 
Franciscans’ discarded items will be recycled, reused or  composted, and its 
need for landfills will become obsolete. (Michelle Lodge, “The Future of 
Garbage Is  ... No Garbage,” _source_
