LANDFILLS & INCINERATORS-NYC SOLID WASTE PLAN/ENVRNMNT

With Maggie Clarke, member of the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB): Continued exporting of garbage costing up to $600m per year, with half the recyclables, 92% of organics, and reusable consumer goods sent to landfills/exterminators.                                                                                                                                                    The city could potentially earn a sufficient amount to pay to train/hire workers; instead its burning waste at astronomical costs. Plus, the amount spent to educate NYers about these programs is minimal. Furthermore, NYS isnt enforcing its own solid waste management plan.                                                                                                                Plus, is Gov. Hochul bringing back/funding nuclear power? And, the watering down of an already diluted climate bill and the potential weakening of the state's Environmental Review law--another giveaway to the real estate industry in the false and misleading name of 'modernization.'
