Title: “Conversion Technology at Tajiguas Landfill and its Impacts on the
Gaviota Coast”

Carlyle Johnston, Staff Analyst for the Department of Public Works, will
give a presentation focusing on conversion technology and a common community
goal of waste reduction at the at the next Santa Barbara Surfrider Foundation
general meeting February 7 at 7PM at the Watershed Resource Center, at Arroyo
Burro County Park (2981 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara).
Conversion technology is a general term used to describe many different processes
that turn municipal solid waste into energy and/or other marketable products
to be used later for energy (such as bio-diesel or ethanol). This can be done
through biological, chemical or thermal processes but does not include incineration
or burning the waste.
There are many different options for our community concerning conversion technology.
The Conversion Technology Study Group, a joint City & County of Santa Barbara
program that is evaluating the feasibility of conversion technology to be used
at the Tajiguas Landfill, are currently defining our community’s goals
that will guide us through this important decision making process. Since
this is a community process, the meeting is a great opportunity to give direct
feedback from all participants on the future of waste reduction.
Santa Barbara Chapter general meetings are a place to hear from remarkable speakers
on interesting or hot topics in a comfortable setting. Please join the Chapter
to find out what other issues and challenges face our coast and ocean and what
Surfrider is doing to help. Meet like-minded individuals, contribute to the discussion,
or just listen and learn. Refreshments served.
