• 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?

Panelists will include:

• Susan Young, Director, City of Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling
  
• John Jaimez, Organics Recycling Coordinator with Hennepin County Environmental Services
