  21. What a year… • Triple Crown winner • Women’s World Cup championship • Cuba! • Pluto • Mars….after 9 years getting there • A new “Earth like” planet • Lots of “flag” issues • Equality just got more equal for more people • National Climate Change Plan • ….our world is changing • Our Industry is changing….. But I remain proud of our accomplishments in GA

  22. A State where: • A major international brand based in our capital city develops the first 100% plant based plastic bottle—compatible with traditional PET • A major aluminum manufacturer (w/N American HQ in GA) develops the highest content aluminum can in the world • A carpet manufacturer ranks No. 8 out of 500 companies named to Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers 2015. The company is the highest rated manufacturing employer and the only ranked company within the floorcovering industry. • The second largest pulp and paper industry in the nation operates • A flip flop manufacturer develops a closed loop circular economy brand…without much fanfare! • Leaders in the recycling industry from Georgia are published in national trades and serve on panels at national conferences • A woman who we already knew was an amazing industry leader gets a SW director job for a local government well known for its leadership in recycling and waste reduction. • It is said we have the 2nd largest end-use infrastructure in the nation… hope our metrics prove that to be true • And this is just the icing on the compost cake! Still work to do, but lots to be proud of!
