If you want ten years of prosperity, plant trees. If you want one hundred years of prosperity, educate people." — Chinese proverb More Americans recycle than vote, but in many Texas communities recycling is lagging in part because some landfill operators cut corners and our state's waste policies are weak which undercut recycling programs. In addition, too few products are designed for recycling. Requiring manufacturersto take back their products at the end of their useful lives will provide a bottom line incentive to reduce toxins and design products for recycling. One of the hallmarks of the environmental efforts for more than 30 years is recycling. The State of Texas adopted the solid waste goals of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle long ago. Recycling is not only a goal, for many Americans it is a daily practice that demonstrates their commitment to the environment to reduce the burden on the planet's resource. It's something Americans feel good about. Neighborhood Canvass One proven method of environmental organizing is canvassing. This is as important today as it has ever been in the efforts to protect the public health and our nation's natural resources. Door-to-door and phone canvassing are vital to our success. It allows us to reach a large number of people, in many towns, income levels, with varied political affiliations. One of the strengths of TCE is the diversity of our membership; canvassing allows us to build this diverse base of support. Every night, all year long, TCE's staff is out in different neighborhoods all over Texas, mobilizing citizens to get involved and have a positive impact on the environment and our quality of life. As a grassroots organization, TCE cannot compete with money that polluting interests and other powerful lobbyists are able to contribute to the campaigns of our elected officials; we use strength in numbers instead. That is why it is important for TCE to have dedicated people concerned about our environment on our staff. <a href="http://www.texasenvironment.org/jobs.cfm" rel="nofollow">Fill out an application today!</a> <img style="border: 5px solid ; width: 446px; height: 307px;" src="http://cartridgesforkids.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/flag.jpg" align="left">RESPONSIBILITIES To further our public education, organizing, and fundraising efforts through: • Grassroots canvassing • Community outreach and coalition-building • Identifying voters and volunteers • Planning and participating in demonstrations and political actions • Assisting with campaign management and research • Meeting with elected officials and other policymakers QUALIFICATIONS Ideal candidates possess strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to the environment, to progressive politics and the vision of a just and equitable society, and have some related nonprofit, political, or volunteer experience or college training.
