<span><span><b>The Institute for Ethics in Public Life presents "America's Trash Problem" a hybrid (online and in-person) forum.</b></span> <br><br>Americans
generate an astonishing amount of waste, about 4.4 pounds per day per
person in 2013 according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That
would put the annual total at over 1600 pounds per year for each of us,
or just over a third the weight of a base model Ford F-150 pickup truck.
<br><br>What can we do about the millions of tons of garbage we throw
away? We already recycle or compost more than a third of it, but that
still leaves over 150 million tons of trash going into landfills every
year. Here in the Northeast part of the U.S. many landfills are filling
up, creating a big problem since people rarely want to have a new
landfill opened near where they live. <br><br>Please join us as we
welcome Sean Lukas '12 (B.A. Environmental Planning and Management),
General Manager of Clinton County Solid Waste and Recycling (Casella
Waste Systems), to discuss the challenges of dealing with trash we
generate, what is being done to bring it under control, and the ways we
can do better. <br> <br> Daniel Lake is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.<br><br>Topic: Institute Forum on America's Trash Problem<br>Time: May 1, 2024 03:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/91963779023&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1714760499565480&usg=AOvVaw2ejw_iLvpIukcFjui__sFY" target="_blank">https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/91963779023</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 919 6377 9023</span>
