The response to the city's hard-to-recycle plastics program has been big ... So big, it’s partnering with Hefty to help deal with the excess ... Constable calls it quits.
I agree with Koz on the Hefty program. Of course, Corporate America doesn't give a whit what happens to start-ups. I listened to five hours of a recent City Council Study Session in which one hour was a ByBlock update. They discussed the Hefty program, but I don't remember them mentioning that the extra plastic collected by Hefty/Reynolds would be burned for energy. When I was in the Legislature, I heard multiple bills about burning plastic for energy. I voted with the Sierra Club and against burning plastic. I'm concerned about the environmental consequences when a tiny ByBlock home burns. What do the firefighters and the Sierra Club think about this? The bottomline is that we should use less plastic and demand environmentally safe packaging. Everything doesn't have to be encased in plastic.
Great “Agenda” really love the part on recycling
