4. Zero waste will not increase total costs of city budget.
WE already have the budget!
We just allocate $ used for wasting infrastructure to reuse!

5. Per 10,000 Waste
Burn or Bury(landfill) = 1 job
Recycled = 10 jobs
Reused = 75 - 250 jobs

6. Competing Alternatives:
1. Burners/Incinerators (Burned)
(Waste to Energy/Pollution)
Resources are gone forever
2. Bury
1 job per 10,000 tons. Compared
to reuse which creates 75-250

8. Landfill Replacement

9. *Zero Emissions Research Business Models

13. Zero Waste = Sustainability
