More Trash Talking economics

Kelly Ignace from American Waste is back again for more discussion of managing our communities waste stream. American Waste follows a different business plan than its competitors: American does not bury its collected waste in a landfill, instead it segregates the waste stream into recyclable products of various grades and kinds, indoors! Burying our trash simply removes the value of all that we throw away from our economy. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind wont cut it anymore. We must learn to use our waste stream as a resource for local economic development.

Kelly Ignace joins Dave for this edition of ICR, talking about her employers one of a kind waste hauling and disposal business. Kelly is Director of Marketing and P.R. for American Waste, a locally owned and operated waste disposal business that runs a one of a kind operation on the south side of Traverse City. Americans collection area extends from Mackinac to Manistee and inland to about I-75. Almost all of its collected trash is brought to T.C. and dumped, not in a landfill, but indoors where a combination of mechanical and human separators divide the single trash stream into its constituent parts resulting in bales of marketable recyclables. Nearly 70% of the entire waste stream is segregated into re-usable product and sold to vendors, without first being buried in the ground. Watch this giant, one-of-a-kind machine do its job. Nothing else like this exists in the U.S.

Josh Wunsch is in on this discussion. Josh is a local fruit grower and experienced agricultural manager with clear views on agricultural trends. Localism is all well and good, says Josh, but their are 330 million mouths to feed each day. The demand of that, alone, will play into the balance between a fragile, corporate sized food system and a more resilient localized food system. How far localism goes will be determined by how much locals are willing to pay for more local food and how deeply they support the development of markets. Farmers dont produce into a vacuum. They produce for a viable market that can sustainability pay them to produce.

This discussion shares the experience of Timothy Young and Chris Treter of the On The Ground non-profit that sponsored their recent Run Across Palestine.Chris introduced us to the groups first such effort The Run Across Ethiopia, last summer. Chris Treters business is fair trade shade grown coffee and now, olive oil. The run in Ethiopia focused fund raising efforts to build schools in coffee growing communities; in Palestine, the run kicked off fund raising to plant olive trees. But in both locations the real work was in cross cultural communications and community building. Building communities of producers and consumers that span oceans. Linking our local community in NW Michigan to theirs no matter the distance between. Art is always a part of On The Grounds work.
