    REACHING FOR ZERO: The Citizens Plan for Zero Waste in New York City A “Working Document” 1st Version By Resa Dimino and Barbara Warren New York City Zero Waste Campaign and Consumer Policy Institute / Consumers Union June 2004 Consumer Policy Institute New York City Zero Waste Campaign Consumers Union c/o NY Lawyers for the Public Interest 101 Truman Ave. 151 West 30th Street, 11th Floor Yonkers, NY 10703-1057 New York, New York 10001 914-378-2455 212-244-4664 The New York City Zero Waste Campaign was first conceived at the 2nd National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in October of 2002, where City activists were confronted with the ongoing concerns of other Environmental Justice communities that would continue to be burdened with the high volume of waste being exported from NYC. As a result of discussion with various activists in the City and elsewhere, a diverse group of environmental, social justice and neighborhood organizations came together to begin the process of planning for Zero Waste in NYC. A series of principles were initially drafted to serve as a basis for the entire plan. It is the Campaign’s intent to expand discussions about the Zero Waste goal and to gain broad support for the detailed plan. The Consumer Policy Institute is a division of Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports magazine. The Institute was established to do research and education on environmental quality, public health and economic justice and other issues of concern to consumers. The Consumer Policy Institute is funded by foundation grants, government contracts, individual donations, and by Consumers Union.

Correo electrónico: [email protected] RESUMEN: La idea que se tiene sobre el narcotráfico desde Colombia es que éste ha sido manejado por “carteles”. Lo que la evidencia empírica muestra es que además de las grandes organizaciones criminales, el narcotráfico durante las últimas décadas, y en particular durante los años 70, objeto de este escrito, ha sido un negocio abierto con innumerables participantes (incluyendo mulas “free lancers” que se constituían en microempresarios del narcotráfico), en buena parte colombianos pero también de otras nacionalidades. De ahí que la idea de carteles que ejercen poderes monopólicos, es equivocada. La información inédita con la que se escribió este ensayo es tomada principalmente de una serie de archivos norteamericanos.

  • Vote Ferrer for Mayor November 8Th

    Vote Ferrer for Mayor November 8Th

    Vote Ferrer For Mayor November 8th The Organization of Staff Analysts’ leadership endorsed Fernando Ferrer for Mayor months ago. I have known Freddy since before he held any office at all. As he progressed from legislative assistant to District Leader to City Council member and Borough President, Fred was consistently a friend of the working men and women of the City of New York. He was accessible, informed, considerate and effective. Freddy was especially of value to the Civil Service. His opponent gives him no credit for the turning around of the Bronx. Those of us who came from the Bronx in the 70's and 80's remember the arson that was wiping out housing wholesale. “The Bronx is burning” was proclaimed by national commentators and neither Freddy’s predecessor nor the Mayor had an answer. The answer, put forward and supported by Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer, was to increase the number of Fire Marshals, a civil service specialty of firefighters trained to detect and investigate arson. The arsonists were caught and convicted. The burning of the Bronx to cash in on fire insurance ended. Our current Mayor builds stadiums. Freddy saved affordable housing. [continues, over] Fred Ferrer managed budgets both as a Council leader and as a Borough President. His opponent also has managed a budget. When there was a cash shortfall in a bad year, Freddy worked out job sharing and voluntary furloughs. When our current Mayor claimed hardship, he laid off thirty analysts and three thousand other employees. There was no need for those layoffs.
