New York Becomes First City in Nation to Pass Electronics Recycling Law Council Approves Eco-Friendly Way to Toss Old TVs, Computers, iPods New York, NY – The New York City Council passed groundbreaking legislation (Intro. 104-A) this past month that would institute a city-wide electronics recycling program for the 25,000 tons of discarded electronics the City collects annually, making it the first major municipality in the nation to tackle the rising tide of discarded electronics in the waste stream. “Every time you turn around there’s a new iPod or iPhone, a new slimmer laptop or a bigger TV enticing you to purchase it,” said Kate Sinding, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). “With the speed at which we upgrade our gadgets these days, it’s no wonder that electronics are the fastest-growing part of our waste stream. But now, with the City’s adoption of a 21st-century recycling measure, New York has found a solution that will undoubtedly become the model for other jurisdictions around the nation.” The law, sponsored by 47 council members, requires computer, TV and MP3 manufacturers to take responsibility for the collection of their own electronic products when New Yorkers want to dispose of them. The measure will save the city money and give manufacturers the incentive to design less toxic and easierto-recycle products. The city’s Department of Sanitation will have to approve each manufacturer’s collection plan, which could include curbside collection, drop-off events or mail-in programs. “New Yorkers now have a clear, simple answer to the question: ‘What do I do with my old iPod, TV, or computer?’” said Sinding. “And, finally, all those old electronic products collecting dust in our homes can be disposed of properly, affording us a little extra closet space as well.” Old electronics account for about 40 percent of the lead found in municipal landfills as well as mercury, cadmium, and other toxic heavy metals in landfills and municipal incinerators. Currently, much of New York City’s electronic waste is burned in the Newark incinerator,

polluting the air in New York and New Jersey with heavy metals. “We now have a smarter way to deal with old electronics that doesn’t include burning them or burying them in landfills,” said Sinding. “And it is a system that both taxpayers and business can get behind. We consumers can now get rid of our electronics in an environmentally responsible way and companies can now recover and reuse valuable materials instead tossing them aside in ways that will come back to haunt us. Speaker Quinn, chief sponsor Bill de Blasio and Sanitation Committee chair Michael McMahon, along with the rest of the bill’s sponsors, deserve a great deal of credit for passing this measure, which Mayor Bloomberg should quickly sign into law.” The new measure also received broad support from major corporations, such as Apple and GE, and Tekserve, one of New York City’s largest computer retailers. Nearly two dozen environmental groups also supported the measure, including the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense, the League of Conservation Voters, the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and the Lower East Side Ecology Center. The law requires companies to begin collecting old equipment in July 2009. Starting in July 2010, the Department of Sanitation will no longer accept electronic products covered in the bill for collection and can fine manufacturers if they fail to submit approvable plans and/or fail to meet specific performance standards in implementing them. By 2012, manufacturers must take back at least 25 percent (by weight) of their current sales for recycling or reuse; by 2015 they must collect 45 percent, and by 2018, manufacturers must collect at least 65 percent of their current sales. The Natural Resources Defense Council is a national, nonprofit organization of scientists, lawyers and environmental specialists dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. Founded in 1970, NRDC has 1.2 million members and online activists, served from offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing.

Let’s Talk Trash, RecycleMania 2008 is here! by Vickie Brynildsen Trash is everywhere! On more than 400 college and university campuses right now it’s not going to the dumpsters though. You read that right; the trash is not going to the dumpsters! That’s because over 400 colleges and universities across North America are participating in a competition called RecycleMania. In 2001, Recyclemania began as a bet between the Recycling Coordinators for Ohio University and Miami University of Ohio to see who could collect the most recyclables. Since then, the number of participants just keeps doubling. So today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now coordinates the event. More than 400 schools this year are competing in categories such as Grand Champion, Per Capita Classic, Waste Minimization, Gorilla Prize, and Targeted Materials.

Each week representatives from the schools enter the weights of their recyclables onto the website, www. recyclemaniacs.org. The EPA then ranks the schools based on their values from each week. As EPA region III coordinator Donna McGowan states, “RecycleMania reafﬁrms the importance of recycling, reusing, and reducing green house gas emissions as part of the campus sustainability programs.” RecycleMania is a friendly competition that raises awareness about recycling on college and university campuses, but it can also help develop skills for many different career paths. McGowan suggests, “it gives you the opportunity to develop and sharpen your analytical, organizational, marketing, and public speaking skills.” This list is in no way complete and only begins to scratch at the surface of the many skills that can be developed by organizing and running RecycleMania on your campus, whether you’re a student or a staff member. Organizing RecycleMania on your campus can lead to many career options, most obvious being a Recycling Coordinator. Many careers in marketing and business

Energy Department Selects Student Teams to Compete in 2009 Solar Decathlon WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the 20 university-led teams selected to compete in the Department’s fourth Solar Decathlon, which will be held on the National Mall in Washington, DC, in the fall of 2009. This year’s teams have been selected from universities in the United States, Canada, and Germany and each team will receive $100,000 from DOE to uniquely design, build and operate an energy efficient, fully solarpowered home for this unique competition. Each home will utilize energy efficient technology and demonstrate that homes powered entirely by the sun do not have to sacrifice all the modern comforts and aesthetics Americans are accustomed to. The Department’s Solar Decathlon complements the President’s Solar America Initiative, which seeks to make solar power cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015.

energy balance, and transportation. In addition to producing enough electricity and hot water to perform all the functions of a home, from powering lights and electronics to cooking, washing clothes and dishes, each home must produce surplus energy sufficient to power an electric car. The team that finishes the week of competition with the most points wins. Selected design concepts represent a range of building technologies from diverse geographic locations, including those targeted for low-income gulf-state rebuilding, affordable urban renewal, and mass-producible habitats for suburban America. Applications for the competition were evaluated by a panel made up of engineers, scientists and other experts from DOE and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Teams were required to meet specific criteria, demonstrating their ability to design and build an innovative, entirely solar-powered, 800-square-foot home from scratch, including the ability to raise additional funds and assemble a team necessary to carry the project through to completion.

“The Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon is more than a student project. These creative teams will develop livable, working, energy efﬁcient, and marketable home designs powered by cutting edge, currently available solar energy technology,” U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman said. “The caliber of this year’s proposals was outstanding and we were thrilled with the signiﬁcant increase in the number of applicants. It will be exciting to watch as the students work over the next year-and-a-half to design, build, test, and showcase their homes.”

In October 2007, an estimated 120,000 visitors turned out on the National Mall to witness Technische Universistät Darmstadt, the University of Maryland, and Santa Clara University and California College of the Arts, take ﬁrst, second, and third place respectively. The University of Colorado won the two previous competitions, held in 2002 and 2005.

The Decathlon gets its name from the 10 speciﬁc areas of competition: architecture, engineering, market viability, communications, comfort, appliances, hot water, lighting,

will beneﬁt from experience from RecycleMania. As McGowan notes, “sustainability is our future [and] as a result, all business people are going to have to ﬁnd a more environmentally favorable way of running their business.” So in the next few years, if not now, marketing and business professions are going to be looking for employees with environmental knowledge. The careers mentioned are only a few from many that you can obtain with the skills that are developed by coordinating RecycleMania on your campus. McGowan even states, “I wish that I were just coming out of school because I think that students have a whole new world of opportunities just waiting for them, but they have to be willing to take two steps forward and three steps backward for awhile, because not everyone sees the environmental issues that are right in front of them.” Keep Recycling! For more information about RecycleMania and how your school might get involved check out www.recyclemaniacs. org.

The following teams have been selected to compete in the 2009 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon:

Boston Architectural College/Tufts University (Boston, MA/Medford, MA) Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) Iowa State University of Science & Technology (Ames, IA) Missouri University of Science & Technology (Rolla, MO) Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) The Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) Rice University (Houston, TX) Santa Clara University and California College of the Arts (Santa Clara, California/San Francisco, California) Technische Universität Darmstadt (Darmstadt, Germany) Universidad de Puerto Rico (San Juan, Puerto Rico) Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Madrid, Spain) University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) University of Calgary/SAIT Polytechnic and Mount Royal College (Calgary and Alberta, Canada) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Urbana, IL) University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY) University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Lafayette, LA) University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN) University of Waterloo/Ryerson University/Simon Fraser University (Waterloo and Toronto, Ontario and Burnaby, British Columbia in Canada) University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Milwaukee, WI) Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Blacksburg, VA)

Coast barrel cactus (Ferocactus viridescens), a sensitive plant species found on the Scripps Coastal Reserve, La Jolla, CA. (R. Stevens)

The Scripps Coastal Reserve is a property of the University of California, San Diego. Located on the coastal bluffs of La Jolla, this site offers myriad educational opportunities for the students of UCSD to study techniques of habitat restoration and monitoring. Due to grazing disturbances in the post World War II era, this site is currently dominated by nonnative annuals and many invasive perennial plant species. Under the guidance of an experienced restoration ecologist from EDAW, Inc. the students are taking a comprehensive, hands-on approach toward quantifying existing conditions, fabricating a restoration plan, and implementing that plan through volunteerism. The goal of this project is to serve as an ongoing educational program for interested students to enhance their environmental skill-sets through public service.

An opportunity for a postdoctoral candidate to join a project with the U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station in Houghton, MI. The primary responsibility of the post-doc would be to contribute to a USDA-funded project focused on understanding the interaction of soil chemistry, ectomycorrhizal fungal community composition and plant function. Ectomycorrhizal fungal community responses to elevated soil inorganic nitrogen availability have raised questions about the functional significance of these community changes. We are testing alternative hypotheses about how changes in

ectomycorrhizal fungal community composition and function driven by soil resource availability in turn affect host plants (carbon allocation, stoichiometry, nutrition and growth), soil enzymes and soil organic N formation. The post-doc will be integrally involved in controlled experiments in which soil nutrients as well as the species (and strain) composition and complexity of ectomycorrhizal communities are varied to assess how soil nutrients interact with number and identity of species/strains to influence plant function and soil organic N formation. The post-doc will have flexibility in designing a research program that is suited to areas of personal interest within the overall framework of the project. Depending on interests and expertise there is also the potential for involvement with other efforts underway in our group, including development of a large scale microbial community database linked to biogeographic modeling, exploration of the effects of invasive soil organisms on soil microbial communities and C cycling, and investigation of the effects of climate change on mycorrhizal community function. A PhD in ecology, mycology, microbiology, soil science or a related field is required, as is a proven interest in the linkages between community-, physiologicaland ecosystem ecology. Experience with any of the following will be an asset, but is not required: ectomycorrhizal fungal culture, molecular identification of microorganisms, mycorrhizal inoculation of plants, soil extracellular enzyme assays, C and N stable isotopic tracer studies and plant physiological ecology methods.
