Eric Lombardi, executive director of Boulder, Co.,-based Eco Cycle, speaks to city officials and outlines some simple steps to create a zero waste community:
  • "The public really wants convenient recycling and composting opportunities. Once you create the systems where it's really easy to do the right thing, they do the right thing."

  • Mandatory recycling at all homes and businesses.
