#COVID19 is an opportunity - in the rebuilding process, we have a chance to tangibly change the #economy in a way to better combat the threat of #ClimateChange - and help ensure that we have a #sustainable future. #Green https://t.co/wge2J57teY

Haulers and other #sanitation workers are vital in the fight against #COVID19 and deserve our support - which begins with ensuring they receive all proper and necessary #PPE to ensure their safety as essential workers. Keep our #haulers safe. https://t.co/4pXAdmNgTJ

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Keep your people safe! Make sure your team is following the strict guidelines to keep them safe from #COVID19. #Recyclers and #waste haulers are more important now than ever - we need to support them and keep them safe so they can keep our families safe. https://t.co/Ghg1YKZQvt

#COVID19 has left buildings empty across the world, sometimes with very little warning that they will be vacant indefinitely. How can building managers effectively #decarbonize buildings for the long haul? And how could that change future construction? https://t.co/sfhE9cZ0MS

A new report outlines the four most major consumer facing brands that create widespread #plastic #waste. Now, more than ever, the need to end single-use plastic is clear. Take a look at the biggest #polluters - and push for real change. https://t.co/rN3JDI67gu

#RenewableEnergy accounted for 72% of all new energy capacity additions in 2019 - markedly outpacing traditional fossil fuel growth. While most of the growth was in Asia, it bodes well for #green efforts gaining traction around the world - and country. https://t.co/xlN6frTpP2

As #COVID19 continues to disrupt industries around the globe, #recycling is no different. A drastic slowdown in shipping has exposed new challenges for recyclers, and the looming prospects of port closures could slow recycling shipping to a trickle. https://t.co/nLmQUTvzYP

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Due to the effects of #COVID19, new #waste legislation has been put on hold all around the country - and Vermont's new #FoodWaste ban is the most recent new law to go on hold. It makes sense to hold off on new practices - but it must be implemented. https://t.co/IaiserzP99

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Republic Services is making a concerted effort to address gaps in its #recycling program, looking for more efficient ways to process and increase #plastics recovery and recycling, following Waste Management's similar effort earlier in the year. https://t.co/GbBGxuFFtQ

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Has #hydrogen's time as a major #green fuel finally arrived? LADWP has a new plan to overcome three of the major hurdles to storing and producing green hydrogen - and get that much closer to finally reaching net-zero #emissions at scale. https://t.co/2SLkqCaK9I

[Michael @Michael67555351]

A major #plastic #recycling group has launched a post-consumer resin certification program, a great tool to help push more plastic away from #landfills and into #sustainable and future focused programs. Time to end single-use plastics! https://t.co/X3huhz2BrX

[Michael @Michael67555351]

As cities across the nation face #COVID19, the #CDC has issued guidelines to help keep consumers and #haulers safe - but not all municipalities can adhere to the rules, forcing vulnerable curbside services to shut down. https://t.co/JwIkF1MDIE

[Michael @Michael67555351]

The #COVID19 pandemic has given opponents of scrap #recycling the cover to launch an attack on the practice as a nuisance - especially as more shelter-in-place orders take hold across the country. Scrap must be processed - despite the local complaints. https://t.co/HYd74JO9BN

[Michael @Michael67555351]

#Upcycling helps to drastically expand the life cycle of goods that are shared in that manner - but could the same philosophies work on food? Could a focus on creating food cycling networks help end food #waste - and hunger? https://t.co/6K3OURySz9

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Starting the conversation about #green efforts can be challenging - but there are great ways to talk about #EPR that are effective and persuasive. #Sustainable packaging is vital for our planet's future - and all companies must play their part. https://t.co/nLSapSjGfw

[Michael @Michael67555351]

Despite the challenges of #COVID19, #recycling is vital to keeping our environment and people healthy - and must continue. It's on us to help keep haulers safe - and to keep supply chains healthy and operating. We can do it! https://t.co/uUB9y9bUfi

[Michael @Michael67555351]

The #coronavirus crisis has many obvious threats, from illness to a halt in work - but a less visible issue could throw a wrench into #waste companies plans as subcontractors find themselves unable to work due to virus-related restrictions. https://t.co/efJEst97MJ

[Michael @Michael67555351]

#COVID19 is on the world’s mind - for good reason. But how can #waste handlers effectively deal with the new types of potentially hazardous waste created by organizations outside of healthcare? Careful use of #PPE and adherence to #CDC guidelines. https://t.co/8rzJSGYPI8

[Michael @Michael67555351]

A new discovery from scientists in Germany offers a possible solution to polyurethane-based #plastic #waste - a microbe that eats them. The microbe is unaffected by the toxic chemicals the plastic releases, metabolizing them and degrading the waste. https://t.co/ltFfAtzSIj

[Michael @Michael67555351]

The International Solid #Waste Association recently released a statement regarding the role of waste collection in the #COVID19 crisis - and it's a vital role. More vital, though, is the need to #protect our collection workers - and keep our cities safe. https://t.co/rpea1f0p9m
