Topic:
The Baltimore City Recycling Program
Your Chance to Learn Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Recycling

Speaker:
 
Robert Murrow*
Coordinator, Baltimore City Recyling Program
Baltimore recycles almost 30% of its trash. This is a complicated and challenging endeavor. There are many questions which we have all had about recycling but never had the chance to ask when face to face with a person in charge of a huge and multifaceted recycling program. Well, this is your chance to ask those questions.

_____________________________________________________________

The Baltimore Green Forum seeks to educate and stimulate dialogue about what humans can do to make modern civilization more sustainable, including adjusting to finite resource limits and preserving biodiversity and a healthy environment.
We do this through 8 monthly meetings a year. The topics are far ranging. They vary from local to planetary and from philosophical to scientific to very practical.

The Meeting Format: There is a speaker and Q&A from 4-5:15 pm. Then there are brief announcements by representatives other organizations that also seek sustainability and environmental protection. We thereby promote collaboration among these organizations. Next, there is an optional roundtable discussion until 6:30 pm. Finally, there is often a small gathering at a nearby restaurant.

BGF is open to the public and is free of charge, but donations to Maryland Presbyterian Church are collected during the meeting to thank the church for their generous gift of the space to us.
