Way to go, Jesse. Thanks, Jann. Good day, John _____ From: oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of LAURELCG@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 1:18 PM To: Oe@wedgeblade.net 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. Jann McGuire <http://www.recology.com/> 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 ...
