During this crisis, we need to do everything we can to protect frontline workers who are making it possible for life to go on for the rest of us.
At the same time, we need to guard against corporate interests trying to use the crisis as leverage to win policies that could harm public health and the environment – policies that they have been unable to pass in normal times.
One example that just came to light is Casella Waste Systems' proposal to start sending material that would normally be recycled (glass, metal, paper and plastic) to the Casella-owned landfill in Coventry. They also want to roll back a state ban on putting compostable food scraps in the waste stream.
Please take a minute and add your name to our petition asking VT elected officials to keep recylcing in Vermont!
