  11. 6. Back to the Big Picture

  12. Current situation Consumption of materials Consumption of fossil fuels Standard of living

  13. Change 1 Solar Energy Consumption of materials Standard of living

  14. Change 2 Solar Energy Zero Waste Standard of living

  15. Change 3 Solar Energy Zero Waste Quality of Life

  16. We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption

  17. We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life

  18. We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life

  19. We have to separate the Quality of life from the material consumption Material consumption Quality of life

  20. Less moneyMore meaning!

  21. Consume lessEnjoy more!

  22. To fight over-consumptionWe need to swap a life built around acquiring a series of objects…

  23. To a life built around a series of expanding human relationships

  24. “Make Love, Not War” In the 1960’s

  25. “Make Love, Not Waste” In the 2000’s

  26. “Make Friends, Not Waste” In the 2000’s

  27. Conclusions • We do not need mega-landfills or incinerators! • There is a better alternative • The ZERO WASTE strategy is • Better for our health (LESS TOXICS) • Better for the economy, • Better for our children, and • Better for the planet (MORE SUSTAINABLE)!

  28. A threatened community is a strengthened community if people work together.

  29. EFFECTING CHANGE Is like driving a nail through a piece of wood

  30. EFFECTING CHANGE Experts may sharpen the point

  31. EFFECTING CHANGE Experts may sharpen the point But you need the hammer of public opinion to drive the nail home

  32. Three final messages • 1. To citizens - don’t let the experts take your common sense away • 2. To politicians - put your faith back in people • 3. To activists - • HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. God recycles, The devil burns

  34. “The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti (Chorus) We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We know there’s a better way!

  35. “The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti Mine eyes have seen the garbage That’s a smoldering on the grate We must stop incineration Before it is too late Unless we wish the dangers We had better separate And we must do it now!

  36. “The Battle Hymn” dei rifiuti (Chorus) We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We don’t want incineration We know there’s a better way!

  37. You’ve listened to me on incineration will you now listen to me on fluoridation?
