This is from another list I'm on.&nbsp; I had no idea!&nbsp;&nbsp; Can anybody go to this?&nbsp;&nbsp; I may be out of town, but it's important to get some educated and comprehensive viewpoints in there, no?&nbsp;&nbsp; This is our chance to present some real sustainable or even regenerative design concepts to the City of Los Angeles.&nbsp;&nbsp; This could turn out to be a joke or a very long, drawn out and wasteful process if we do not do so and vested interests carry the day.&nbsp; <br><br>*****<br><br>             The next meeting of the LACity Dept. of Sanitation  on the ZeroWaste program<br> is on February 2nd. at the LA Convention Center. You can find out all about<br> it at   <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lacity.org/san/srssd/swirp/">http://www.lacity. org/san/srssd/ swirp/</a>   For the past year the City<br> has been soliciting ideas, advice, concerns, and proposals from anyone and<br> everyone who lives within the city boundaries. The
 response has been<br> underwhelming but sufficient that the program is being shaped and will be<br> implemented. At the last meeting we attended, horse owners were present in<br> disproportionate numbers to present their concerns and demands regarding<br> manure pickup. Others who have been heard from  are restaurant owners,<br> machine shop owners and so on. If  you think your bio-intensive,<br> permacultural orientation  and innate innovative genius deserves to be<br> voiced along with these noisome  groups to determine the priorities and<br> policies of the soon to be announced zero solid waste program, Speak Now<br> (2/2/08,that is) or Forever Hold Your Peace.   Ancient legal principle:<br> Silence Implies Consent  (Qui tacet consentir, as the Roman lawyers said)<br> Free catered lunch on china with no disposable utensils and all food<br> compostable, or so it was at the July meeting.<br>  Hallelujah and a Happy New Year to All<br><p>&#32;
