I served on the Sierra Club Task Force that wrote the Club's Sludge Policy, which was recently revised to be even stronger: <br />www.sierraclub.org/policy/conservation/LandApplicationSewageSludge.pdf<br /><br />In addition, the Sierra Club Board of Directors has just approved a Compost Policy that was a year in the making and excludes sewage sludge and other contaminated waste as feedstock for compost.<br /><br />Caroline Snyder Ph.D.<br />Citizens for Sludge-Free Land<br />Author of <br />The Dirty Work of Promoting Recycling of America's Sewage Sludge ( International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health 2005) a link to which can be found on<br />www.sludgefacts.org<br />cgsnyder@post.harvard.eduCaroline Snyderhttp://www.sludgefacts.orgnoreply@blogger.com
