Sustainability Assistance Programs for Businesses and Current Policies Helping to Create a Sustainable Local Economy.

Presented by the Sustainable Business Network of Portland in their Visionary Luncheon & Networking Forum series.

Guest speakers Metro Councilor Rex Burkholder, Megan Stein of the Office of Sustainable Development; Marlowe Kulley of BEST Business Center; and Babe O'Sullivan of the Portland Recycles! Plan. Bring your own brown bag lunch or enjoy local Hot Lips Pizza.

In June 2008, the Metro Council will consider adopting a new program to increase business recycling. Businesses generate almost half of the region's garbage and each year dispose of more than 100,000 tons of recyclable materials. Increasing business recycling is a major conservation opportunity for the region. Metro Council would like to get your feedback on the proposed requirements to recycle paper, cardboard, and metal, glass and plastic containers.
