RE: Employee Awareness
Dear Dr. Pojasek:
Here's one suggestion for the company. Have them describe their own
wastes
to their employees, along with the costs for disposal. For example, they
could
do a poster or slide on each wastestream from each part of the company's
process. Then, they could ask their employees for ideas on how to reduce or
eliminate the waste, and of course they could always offer some sort of
financial incentive. Like a raise - company-wide of course. (In a former
life
I was a union organizer.)
I have done several presentations at elementary schools on waste disposal
and P2. The 7 and 8 year olds are enthralled by pictures of landfills. Yes,
they love the big machines, but they also get the connection between what
gets
picked up from their street on garbage day and how it piles up. Why should
adults be any different?
