Weekly “Strategy Session” Gas Drilling Meetings - Every Tuesday

[ibimage==2773==original_size==none==self==null]

The local Texas Campaign for the Environment office is hosting follow up meetings about the gas drilling issue  in Dallas. TCE is also launching a statewide campaign to urge Wal-mart to start a take back recycling program for old and obsolete electronics and this will be a forum to discuss this program. Electronic waste is toxic waste (it contains lead, mercury and many hazardous chemicals) that doesn’t belong in D/FW landfills – which are often situated close to area waterways. TCE is thus urging Walmart to match the recycling program Best Buy is offering in their retail stores nationwide, and we launched a “social media action”.  

As part of that action TCE is urging everyone to: 
 
Post a message today on Walmart’s “What’s on Your Mind” Facebook page calling on the company to take back e-waste for recycling. This link will take you to Walmart's customer feedback page. http://www.facebook.com/walmart/app_262083887168302
