Marin and Sonoma Activists
Please alert you members, networks and personal lists to this
important upcoming
Town Hall / Potluck presentation.
Residents of Marin and Sonoma are facing serious environmental threats
because of unbridled greed and an un-precedented media campaign to
mislead the public about our local "DUMP".
A major root cause of our local and national problems stem from over
consumption, waste and reckless energy use and policies. Find out how
you can begin to change the national direction by acting locally.
Please join us.
Mon., February 12, 6:00 / 7:30 (potluck / presentation)
The Dump Crises in Marin:
MPJC – TownHall / PotluckSue Brown and Bruce Baum of No Wetlands
Landfill Expansion, will lead a discussion and present a short video
on the landfill crises in Marin titled "Tale of Two Dumps". Why
citizens have to be outraged by what our Marin County government is
allowing. The urgency of the situation, and a call to action.
Expansion of the landfill will turn it into a state regional dump to
increase Waste Management, Inc.'s big corporate profits. It will
result in a substantial increase of large truck traffic on highway 101
and increase the risk of degrading surrounding wetlands as well as air
and odor pollution throughout Novato and surrounding areas.
MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH DUMP EXPANSION
• Owners Want Approval to Turn Redwood Landfill into a Large Regional Dump.
• Landfill Expansion Will Increase Big Truck Congestion and Pollution
on Highway 101.
• Located in a Highly Sensitive Ecosystem. The Petaluma Marsh
• Run by a Huge Corporation with a Checkered Environmental Past whose
Motive is Profit.
First United Methodist Church, 9 Ross Valley Dr., San Rafael.
Come join us for a potluck and informative town hall discussion. No
time to prepare something for the potluck? Come anyway and learn about
this important crisis in Marin.
