NCRA News, June 2012
WELCOME! This is the June 2012 newsletter of the Northern California Recycling Association. NCRA is a non-profit trade organization of recycling businesses, community groups, municipalities and individuals.
Why NCRA? By Bob Besso, Recycling & Waste Reduction Manager for Recology SF
NCRA has history! Its origins go back to the first Earth Day, and the roots of modern recycling. Some of the founders are still around and participating. NCRA is a great place to get an ecological perspective on recycling issues, which is not easy to find in the current waste diversion at all cost mindset.
