ABOUT THE GRANT PROGRAM THAT WE

00:00:50WE LIKE TO WELCOME SOME OF OUR
PARTNERS HERE IN THE RECYCLING
00:00:56INDUSTRY.
GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY.
00:01:00FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I HAVE HAD
THE HONOR AND PLEASURE OF
00:01:06WORKING WITH THE RECYCLING
GROUP, THE RECYCLING AND LITTER
00:01:13PREVENTION GROUP THAT CAME OVER
FROM THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF
00:01:17NATURAL RESOURCES AND IS NOW AT
OHIO EPA.
00:01:21WExD THINK IT BRINGS SYNERGY TO
THE OFFICE.
00:01:26IT IS THE PERFECT FIT.
THIS IS THE FIRST PUBLIC EVENT
00:01:30THAT WE HAVE DONE.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE CHET
00:01:36, TERRY AND ALL OF THEM OVER AT
OHIO EPA.
00:01:44WITH THAT, WE WILL HAVE DIRECTOR
NALL SPEAKERY, DIRECTOR CA
00:01:58RLETON WILL SPEAK, AND WITH THAT
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE
00:02:00DIRECTOR.
>> THANK YOU.
00:02:02IT IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE WHEN WE
START MENTIONING NAMES WE WANT
00:02:05TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T MISS
ANYBODY.
00:02:07IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT, WE HAVE A
00:02:17PROCLAMATION ALSO DECLARING
THIS OHIO RECYCLES DAY.
00:02:22WE STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
WHEN OUR TEAMSjBt MET TO GET BER
00:02:29EXPOSURE, AND WHAT A BETTER
PLACE THAN THE HOUSE OF THE
00:02:33CITIZENS OF OHIO.
HERE WE ARE.
00:02:37IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO HAVE
THIS AS A KICKOFF EVENT.
00:02:38DIRECTOR, THANK YOU FOR INVITING
US.
00:02:44WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT
ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT NECESSARILY
00:02:50USING SOMEONE'S KITCHEN AS A
STAGE, BUT THESE ARE GENERATED
00:02:53HERE.
IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO HELP
00:02:56INCREASE AWARENESS AND
EDUCATION.
00:03:00WHY NOT DO IT AT THE HOUSE OF
THE CITIZENS OF OHIO?
00:03:03A LOT OF FOLKS ARE COMING IN AND
OUT APPEAR.
00:03:07D.C. SCHOOL BUSES PULLED IN AND
OUT EVERY DAY.
00:03:10-- THEY SEE SCHOOL BUSES PULL IN
AND OUT EVERY DAY.
00:03:14THIS ISrWONDERFUL EXPOSURE TO
HAVE FOLKS SEE WHAT WE ARE
00:03:19DOING.
WE SHOULD LEAD THE CHARGE FROM A
00:03:21LEADERSHIP POSITION CARE IS A
PLEASURE TO BE HERE TO SIGN THE
00:03:25MOU.
THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
00:03:29AS WE LOOK TO RETOOL OUR
RECYCLING PROGRAM ACROSS THE
00:03:34STATE OF OHIO, WE HAVE PLATEAUED
IN THE 20%-TO-30% RANGE, AND
00:03:42SISTER STATES AROUND US ARE
PASSING US.
00:03:45THERE ARE PLENTY OF PARTNERSHIPS
LIKE THIS WE NEED TO TAKE
00:03:48ADVANTAGE OF, AND WE NEED TO
ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE
00:03:55PARTNERSHIPS AND I'M GOING OFF
OF MY NOTES.
00:03:58WE WASTE 90% OF OUR GLASS
BOTTLES THAT WE GENERATE IN THE
00:04:07STATE OF OHIO, IF WE HAVE
MULTIPLE BUSINESSES THAT NEED
00:04:11THAT HAS THE RESOURCES.
-- RESOURCES, WE NEED TO FIGURE
00:04:16OUT A MECHANISM TO MARRY THOSE
THAT COULD USE IT A PRODUCT.
00:04:25WE KNOW THE MARKET, WHO THE
GENERATORS ARE, AND IT SOUNDS
00:04:30EASY, BUT IT IS NOT.
THE DIVERSITY OF THE STATE IS A
00:04:34CHALLENGE, BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS WE NEED TO BE
00:04:36FOCUSING ON.
THAT IS A PRIME EXAMPLE.
00:04:40WE GO THROUGH PAPER.
IT IS THE SAME WAY.
00:04:44MULTIPLE PAPER INDUSTRIES.
ALL OF US GENERATE PAPER.
00:04:49WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
BETTER COORDINATE THAT.
00:04:52WE DO A FAIRLY GOOD JOB ON SOME
OF THEM.
00:04:54THERE IS THE FURNITURE MARKET
PIECE TO IT.
00:04:58TO START PICKING SECTORS,
AWARENESS WILL GET PEOPLE TO THE
00:05:05TABLE, WE CAN WORK THROUGH IT.
IT IS NOT REGULATORY PARENT AS
00:05:16WE TALKED OUR DISCUSSION, AND
THE ORIGINAL LAW THAT SET UP
00:05:22SOLIfQ WASTE REQUIREMENTS 23
YEARS AGO WE ARE SHOOTING BACK
00:05:29UP RIGHT NOW, AS A TEAM.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR
00:05:34SEVERAL MONTHS.
WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT IT
00:05:37WILL TAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN
THIS ROOM TO HELP US THROUGH
00:05:39THAT PROCESS SO WE GET
LEGISLATION THAT MAKES SENSE.
00:05:44HOW'D WE DO IT FROM A FLOW
CONTROL STANDPOINT?
00:05:51WE NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT.
IT IS DIFFICULT, BUT YOU DO NOT
00:05:55RUN AWAY FROM THOSE ISSUES, I AM
NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY, AND ALL
00:06:00THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT RUN AWAY
FROM THEM.
00:06:01AGAIN, -- I KNOW THE DIRECTOR
DOES NOT RUN AWAY FROM THEM.
00:06:06AGAIN, THANK YOU, AND WELCOME TO
>> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR, AND GOOD
00:06:13MORNING, EVERYBODY.
I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
00:06:17WELCOME YOU TO THE OHIO STATE
HOUSE.
00:06:19IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE
TODAY, RECOGNIZING NATIONAL
00:06:24RECYCLESçólp DAY, AND THIS IS AO
THE BIRTHDAY OF THE STATE HOUSE,
00:06:30THE 151ST ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN
THE STATE HOUSE WAS COMPLETED.
00:06:35xDTHIS GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH EA

PAINTBRUSH REMARKS, WE ARE
00:07:03TRYING TO BE GREEN.
WE DO RECYCLING PROGRAMS.
00:07:11IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT COULD
BE, AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE
00:07:14TEAMING UP WITH THE EPA ON THIS
NATIONAL RECYCLING DAY.
00:07:19WE WERE PART OF THE FIRST
STATEHOUSES IN THE UNITE<D
00:07:26STATES TO INSTALL ELECTRIC CART
CHARGERS IN THE GARAGE -- .
00:07:32CHARGERS IN THE GARAGE.
RECENTLY, WE INSTALLED A NEW
00:07:41HVAC SYSTEMS THAT IS ENERGY
EFFICIENT IN REDUCING COSTS OF
00:07:48ENERGY.
SURELY, YOU WI4Lb;t SEE LIGHTIG
00:07:51CHANGES IN THE PARKING GARAGE.
THAT WILL SAVE $20,000 A YEAR IN
00:07:57ENERGY.
OUR GOAL AT THE STATE HOUSE IS
00:08:02TO BE MORE GREEN.
jFI ALSO REALIZE, AND THE DIRECR
00:08:09TOLD ME ABOUT IT, WE DO HAVE
ABOUT 80,000 STUDENTS WALKING
00:08:15THROUGH AND WE TRY TO SURGE OF
THE HISTORY OF THE STATE HOUSE,
00:08:20MAKING THIS GREEN, HOPEFULLY
THAT WILL GO BACK TO THE
00:08:24SCHOOLS.
THINK BEENhwu A LEADER IN THAT
00:08:31AREA WILL SET PRECEDENTS FOR
OTHER STATES.
00:08:35A MUST SAY BEFORE I CONCLUDE I
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO CHET
00:08:43AND TERRY.
THEY WERE HERE WHEN OURçó GROUNS
00:08:48MANAGER SAID WE OUGHT TO DO MORE

00:08:56THAT GENERATED THIS WHOLE THING.
AGAIN, WELCOME TO THE OHIO STATE
00:09:02HOUSE.
WE ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE.
00:09:04IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO
DEVELOP THE PROGRAM AS WE WORK
00:09:10THROUGH THE GRANT PROGRAM.
YOU'LL NOT SEE A CHANGE
00:09:15TOMORROW, BUT YOU WILL GET THERE
IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND IT WILL
00:09:18BE A PLUS.
[LAUGHTER]
00:09:32xD
