New Orleans must be a unique city in NOT having city-sponsored curbside recycling. (there is private). The current administration is (unbelievably) opposed to it! They seem to favor the proven unsuccessful route of "gassification."
The New Orleans Sierra Club (and partners!!) is making a commitment to bringing back curbside recycling to New Orleans!! The upcoming election (February 6, 2010) is the way to do this. We need to make recycling a FRONT AND CENTER visible issue for the election and the next administration, whoever it is. We think we will succeed, because the time is right—there is support. A steering committee has formed to guide this effort. We met yesterday and brainstormed like crazy. Lots of great ideas! Now we need to make it happen.
There will be open meetings on the 4th Monday of each month (time and place to be announced) for community input.
PLEASE post your ideas on how to make it happen to this the New Orleans Sierra Club facebook page.
