SWANA
develops official letter on issue of greenhouse
gas emissions that contribute to climate change
There are a number of new
bills that have
been introduced in the U.S. Congress to
control greenhouse (GHG) gas emissions that
contribute to climate change.
In March,
Congressman John Dingell, Chair of the House
Energy and Commerce Committee issued a
wide-range call for input on the design and
characteristics of such a GHG control
program. This was an excellent opportunity
for SWANA to explain how modern solid waste
management systems emphasizing energy
recovery and recycling can make a
significant contribution to the reduction of
GHG emissions. Working with several of the
SWANA Technical Divisions SWANA has
responded with a
letter to Chairman Dingell which was
delivered on March 19th.
