Oklahoma and recycling

[yldchyld]

anyone with a conscious is aware how important recycling is. i have a question....whenever i see recycled paper products, more specifically, recycled printer paper, it seems to cost more than the non-recycled. why is this? my other beef is capitalistic walmart's new ad campaign of buying their recycled or biodegradeable product whatever saves billions. right. actually it makes billions for walmart. i wanna see the ad done over to say 'help save the planet by making walmart even more money.' if these big retail giants want to show they care about the planet then provide big bins for us to deposit our recycleables as we walk into their doors FOR FREE instead of trying to capitalize on something so vital to the future of this planet.

I am presenting a proposal to the Catoosa City Council next Monday night.

I need some land to build it. Does your Casino have any extra parking lot near the road I could get rent-free?

I was the keynote speaker last year at the Inter-Tribal Environmental Conference, but the people I met were not part of the top administration of the tribe.

Who do I talk to about recycling help?

Okay, just to give you an update on how the building is being planned out.  First off, they are about to widen 193rd, hence the reason the gas station, bueno, and other businesses are empty.  Supposedly, the area where the gas station was at on the west side of the road is going to be turned into an office building, but so far this is just a proposal, and could change 20 times between now and the time that whatever they decided to do with it is actually finished.  

As far as who to talk to on it..... Let me thing here.  We just got a new GM and I cannot think of his name for the life of me.  Now, if you wanted to throw a marketing scheme on this for the casino, you could pitch it to ******* in the Marketing Department (and she is very pro recycle).  Another name you could try talking to is *********.  He is over contracts, and might be able to get something done there, but I don't know what his stance on recycling is.  I will whisper in a few ears tomorrow, and see what kind of a response I get, and see who can be talked to in particular.  Also, if you could talk to the council, or the cheif, Chad Smith,  they actually have the final say on all things Cherokee.  Hope this helps.
