00:01:13 | PREVENTION GROUP THAT CAME OVER FROM THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF |
00:01:17 | NATURAL RESOURCES AND IS NOW AT OHIO EPA. |

00:01:26 | IT IS THE PERFECT FIT. THIS IS THE FIRST PUBLIC EVENT |
00:01:30 | THAT WE HAVE DONE. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE CHET |

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

00:07:14 | TEAMING UP WITH THE EPA ON THIS NATIONAL RECYCLING DAY. |
00:07:19 | WE WERE PART OF THE FIRST STATEHOUSES IN THE UNITE<D |
00:07:26 | STATES TO INSTALL ELECTRIC CART CHARGERS IN THE GARAGE -- . |
00:07:32 | CHARGERS IN THE GARAGE. RECENTLY, WE INSTALLED A NEW |
00:07:41 | HVAC SYSTEMS THAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENT IN REDUCING COSTS OF |
00:07:48 | ENERGY. SURELY, YOU WI4Lb;t SEE LIGHTIG |
00:07:51 | CHANGES IN THE PARKING GARAGE. THAT WILL SAVE $20,000 A YEAR IN |
00:07:57 | ENERGY. OUR GOAL AT THE STATE HOUSE IS |
00:08:02 | TO BE MORE GREEN. jFI ALSO REALIZE, AND THE DIRECR |
00:08:09 | TOLD ME ABOUT IT, WE DO HAVE ABOUT 80,000 STUDENTS WALKING |
00:08:15 | THROUGH AND WE TRY TO SURGE OF THE HISTORY OF THE STATE HOUSE, |
00:08:20 | MAKING THIS GREEN, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL GO BACK TO THE |
00:08:24 | SCHOOLS. THINK BEENhwu A LEADER IN THAT |
00:08:31 | AREA WILL SET PRECEDENTS FOR OTHER STATES. |

00:09:02 | HOUSE. WE ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE. |
00:09:04 | IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO DEVELOP THE PROGRAM AS WE WORK |
00:09:10 | THROUGH THE GRANT PROGRAM. YOU'LL NOT SEE A CHANGE |
00:09:15 | TOMORROW, BUT YOU WILL GET THERE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND IT WILL |
00:09:18 | BE A PLUS. [LAUGHTER] |
00:09:32 | xD >> THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR |
