SUMMARY:Is NYC Ready for the Green New Deal: A Solid Waste Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, June 20th at 6 pm at Abrons Arts Center
 ’s Playhouse Theater for an exciting panel focused on the need for str
 ong policy inclusion and infrastructure concerning NYC’s State of soli
 d waste management within New York City’s development of Green New Dea
 l policy.\n\nHosted by the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board (MSWAB
 )\, this panel’s theme is “Is NYC Ready for the New Green Deal?: A Zer
 o Waste Perspective.” The event seeks to enlighten attendees on the op
 portunity to create new jobs within both the public and private sector
 s and highlight the gap in infrastructure needed in order to help NYC 
 meet its growing capacity in managing recyclable commodities\, organic
 s and other aspects of the solid waste stream.\n\nThe halt on China’s 
 imports of wastepaper and plastics has been perceived to be an adverse
  disruption to U.S. recycling programs. Alternatively\, it has also sp
 urred investment in American plants that process recyclables.This crea
 tes a ripe opportunity for NYC to improve its solid waste management i
 nfrastructure and economic development. As all of us (policy makers\, 
 advocates\, investors\, developers\, and innovators\, to name a few) a
 re striving to integrate sustainability into municipal action\, MSWAB 
 intends for this event to start the conversations needed to catalyze i
 t.
