Dear Sustainable Maritimes Community:

Wondering how to maintain or decrease your waste management costs while
increasing cost-effective diversion and resource efficiency?

I write to invite you to an information session on an innovative concept
that seeks to institutionalize cost-effective recycling improvement and
source reduction in a diversity of organizations.

I am a recent graduate of Dalhousie's School for Resource and Environmental
Studies, and have been working at the Tellus Institute (Boston) on several
pilot projects researching how to restructure waste hauling/disposal and
recycling contracts with partners such as General Motors, Texas Instruments,
Harvard University, and various municipalities for increased diversion.  The
results of these projects demonstrate both potential and realized
improvements in cost-effective resource efficiency.  

While back in Halifax for my graduation next week, I hope to hold an
information/discussion session.  Please find included an outline of the
Resource Management concept and overview of the session to be held at
Dalhousie's School for Resource and Environmental Studies (scheduled for
Friday May 25, 9:30-11:30AM).  Please give me a call at (617) 266-5400 or
e-mail gmarett@tellus.org to indicate whether you are able to attend.
Please feel free to circulate to colleagues in the solid waste management,
environmental management, or purchasing fields who you feel may be
interested.
