- Sabina Cushing: …Well even as of 2012, Savannah has NOT gotten it’s ducks in a row at all. What a joke! No business recycling? Styrofoam galore? Waste management is certainly not very managed to this day. Let’s get some other people in office. It’s about time – the...

- Laura McLeod: Good to know those 159m plastic bags won’t be added to the great patch o’ plastic in the Pacific, or impacting birds and wildlife. And that 80,000 of unordered cases of plastic bags is a pretty impressive number, too. Here in Seattle, we’re almost OCD about...

The power of the constitution played a decisive role in this outcome. Let us not forget those powers in other issues we pursue.
When will they also serve small businesses and/or office buildings? Try as I might, I end up with lots of paper that could be recycled from the office. And I can’t bring it home to recycle because I live in the county. It would be great if there were bins for office buildings, too.
If only 35% of city residents are expected to participate initially, wouldn’t it be helpful for businesses to add to the volume of recyclables?
