* What kinds and how much waste does our community generate? Where does it go?
* What kinds of human health impacts do different components of the waste stream have? How can we reduce them?
* What kinds of legislative proposals or public programs are in the works to address our mounting waste issues?
* What kinds of practical steps can individuals and businesses take to lessen the load?
Our panelists will include:
* Susan Young, Director, City of Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling
