What's NEW
NEXT MEETING!!!
January 22, 2009 - 5:30 p.m. - Salmon Valley Stewarship (513 Main)
Speaker Coming Soon For Recyclers!
The Salmon Valley Stewardship has sponsored a speaker to help break down the economics of recycling for our isolated location, offer us advice in working with city and county officials, and share real tactics for creating both enthusiasm and numbers in local residents and volunteers. Ginny Newsom, of Teton County Recycling has had 30 years of experience in the recycling industry and is currently the Chair for the Regional Solid Waste Committee, a group of landfill staff and managers that make decisions on waste disposal methods that affect us all. We will be announcing the date and time after the holidays on our blog (salmonrecycles.blogspot.com) and to our members.
Gina and I have been brainstorming on this springs plans for Earth Day. We would like to get a jump on it so we have already reserved Cavanass Park for April 22, 2009. We want to make this one bigger and better than last year and have some ideas to back it up. WE WANT YOU though, 20 heads are better than 2 and if you'd like to be involved this year LET US KNOW. Huge potential!

Our location in Salmon, makes recycling of all materials a difficult and oftentimes unrealistic goal economically. To compound challenges, a poor market for recycling commodities drives communities like ours to be especially creative when approaching waste related problems. We look now not only with finding a use for these waste products but how to eliminate these products from our waste stream through education.
