Asking for recycling in SAV
Published Date: December 10th, 2006
I received this email this morning and decide to post it. It is a petition sponsored by DC4 asking Savannians to let our local government know we are ready for recycling. In fact, the wait is getting a bit ridiculous now. The letter begins…
To: Dr. Otis Johnson and City Officials of Savannah, GA
We are requesting that the City of Savannah introduce and initiate a curbside-recycling program.

There is absolutely no economic or social reason that a curbside-recycling program would not work in Savannah.
Recycling allows us to get the most out of our resources and to maintain a sustainable relationship between economics and stewardship for our environment. Besides deriving the maximum amount of value from resources, recycling also reduces or prevents emissions to air and water, saves energy and natural resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and toxic particulates from waste incinerators.
