Another View: State’s waste-management board is crucial to …
Sacramento Bee  USA 
07 2008| Page 3E For The Bee’s editorial to characterize the California Integrated Waste Management Board as existing merely for “patronage” does a dis- service not only to the board members but also to staff who have worked so diligently to protect California’s fragile ecosystem. It is also a disservice to the people of California who have furthered and benefited from historic recycling levels cleaner communities and safer landfills – an accomplishment that has made our state the nation’s leader in managing solid waste. California generates a staggering 92 million tons of trash each year. Thanks to the efforts of the Integrated Waste Management Board and its local government and industry partners more than 54 percent of that waste is recycled or diverted from our landfills – a far cry from the sparse 10 percent recycling rate when the board was created. This has happened because we expanded the recycling revolution beyond just bottles and cans.
