The more people know about it the less they fear it. Our trash costs keep going up. The environmental issues don’t go away. And we need to make good on the Advisory Committee’s 1992 insistence that the system be equitable. • Work with the Board of Selectmen and the Town meeting to pass a Zero Waste resolution in Spring 2012. • Advise the Board of Selectmen to pass an Extended Producer Responsibility resolution.
