July 14, 3pm General Meeting: "Recycling, The Best Way To Save Our World...One Person At A Time! ", presenter Ken Nelson.
Our computerized society is capable of generating large quantifies of documents in a short period of time that are eventually
discarded (e.g. mass mailings), but is also increasingly used to preserve documents in digital form so fewer paper documents need
to be sent and discarded.
Computer technology replacement presents its own special disposal and recycling requirements, both because of data security issues,
and because many electronic components contain trace amounts of heavy metals that could be hazardous in a landfill.
This means appropriate recycling where possible should be a concern of those who use computers.
There has been an historical relationship between the Bella Vista Recycling Center and BVCC. When it was more heavily staffed by
volunteers, some of our members contributed enough volunteer work hours to BVRC that from 2011 - 2015 we received $1000's annually in grant
funds from BRVC. This was the source of much or our cash reserves that enabled BVCC to survive through some lean years.
We continue to receive some grant funds from BVRC, but at a much more modest level,
This will be an in-person meeting (with Zoom simulcast) in the BVCC Training Center in the lower level of Highlands Crossing Center, 1801 Forest
Hills Blvd., Bella Vista, AR.
