Tuesday--June 16th Anti-Incinerator Rally, 11 am

[Shawn]

From Ahmina Maxey, EMEAC Policy Director :

Last chance to END INCINERATION
and begin recycling in Detroit


What: RALLY to urge Mayor Bing to end incineration of city trash
When: Tuesday, June 16th, 11am-1pm
Where: Spirit of Detroit Statue on the corner of Woodward and
Jefferson


Mayor Bing will release his decision of the future of our trash on
June 17th. Our cause for alarm stems from his withheld position of
incineration since his election.

This is a critical moment for any concerned citizen of the Detroit
area to speak out against incineration and show support for recycling.
Please join us in a rally to pressure the mayor into making the right
decision.

This moment in time gives Mayor Bing a wonderful opportunity to move
Detroit forward: to improve air quality, create jobs with the
materials recovered in recycling and to reduce costs of solid waste
management for now and the years ahead. As he said during the mayoral
campaign, "what you burn cannot earn." LETS HOLD HIM TO IT!

The Mayor’s decision is due on June 17th. Please email, call and fax
your opinions and concerns to:

Mayor’s office phone: (313) 224-3400
Mayor’s office fax: (313)224-4433
Mayor’s office email: ioj...@detroitmi.gov and oje...@detroitmi.gov

Detroit COMMONetwork Google group/sk]
