Campaign Launch
Join a coalition of concerned citizens who will work together to make recycling a reality in New Orleans in 2010. Our goal is to influence the mayoral race and elect a mayor who will develop a comprehensive waste management program that minimizes the health and environmental impact of waste disposal, as well as taps the value of waste materials to build a local recycling economy.
