BRING Recycling: In The News

BRING in The Media

KLCC
BRING Executive Director Julie Daniel addressed the City Club of Eugene on October 26, 2007 on the topic: GODDESS OF GARBAGE: Size Does Matter. The introductory text and a link to the audio version follow:

“When it comes to the environment, size really does matter and Glenwood's Goddess of Garbage, aka Julie Daniel, will tell you exactly why "less is best." Despite our zealous commitment to recycling, we're producing more waste per capita each year. What's driving the increase? What can we do about it? And what does waste have to do with climate change?

During the last year, Julie worked on a task force to draft the Oregon DEQ's waste reduction strategy for the next decade. The group commissioned in-depth research and looked carefully at state, regional and national data on waste. What they discovered may surprise you. It surprised them, and some of the information may challenge your beliefs. It's bound to get you thinking.

Julie Daniel is director of BRING Recycling, the non-profit agency that's taken your stuff and sold it back to you for 36 years. BRING's goal is to move first the community, then the region, then the world beyond recycling – to Reuse, Reduce, and Rethink. BRING's new home, the Planet Improvement Center in Glenwood, is living proof that you can do more with less.”
