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, “The Future of Garbage Is
... No Garbage,” source)
