Rob Jameson, Co-Founder of Mass Mosaic is scheduled to speak on September 18th at SUNY New Paltz on how any community can access its abundance of materials as part of a massive decentralized movement to end scarcity. This philosophy follows the New Paltz Zero Waste goals of sustainability through waste diversion and community action. Mass Mosaic: World of Plenty
The success
of this Plan is contingent upon effective communication and active engagement
with each of the stakeholders to harness their interest and energy to turn
local solid waste problems into solutions, re-educate the community to think
locally and sustainably and restructure solid waste management into sustainable
materials management.
New
Paltz recognizes community as the key ingredient in its quest for a positive
vision of the future. The quality of interactions among all members of the
community — businesses, governments, individuals, and organizations — will
define the its ability to adapt to an energy-constrained, sustainable future through
local and environmental support. By stimulating interest and dialogue in the
pressing issues of environmental awareness and sustainability, New Paltz hopes
to herald a new paradigm of interactions among all members of the community. New
Paltz envisions community collaborations to increase its energy efficiency,
re-localize our economy and food sources, develop a greener built environment,
reduce its carbon footprint, and expand educational resources.
