Current situation Consumption of materials Consumption of fossil fuels Standard of living
Change 1 Solar Energy Consumption of materials Standard of living
Change 2 Solar Energy Zero Waste Standard of living
Change 3 Solar Energy Zero Waste Quality of Life
We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption
We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life
We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life
We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life
To fight over-consumptionWe need to swap a life built around acquiring a series of objects…
To a life built around a series of expanding human relationships

“Make Love, Not Waste” In the 2000’s
“Make Friends, Not Waste” In the 2000’s
Conclusions • We do not need mega-landfills or incinerators! • There is a better alternative • The ZERO WASTE strategy is • Better for our health (LESS TOXICS) • Better for the economy, • Better for our children, and • Better for the planet (MORE SUSTAINABLE)!
A threatened community is a strengthened community if people work together.
EFFECTING CHANGE Is like driving a nail through a piece of wood
EFFECTING CHANGE Experts may sharpen the point
EFFECTING CHANGE Experts may sharpen the point But you need the hammer of public opinion to drive the nail home
Three final messages • 1. To citizens - don’t let the experts take your common sense away • 2. To politicians - put your faith back in people • 3. To activists - • HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God recycles, The devil burns
“The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti (Chorus) We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We know there’s a better way!
“The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti Mine eyes have seen the garbage That’s a smoldering on the grate We must stop incineration Before it is too late Unless we wish the dangers We had better separate And we must do it now!
“The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti (Chorus) We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We know there’s a better way!
You’ve listened to me on incineration will you now listen to me on fluoridation?
