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