 | State Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, has a shiny new title: "Recycling Legislator of the Year." He shares the honor with state Senator Alex Padilla, D-San Fernando Valley.
The award, sponsored by Californians Against Waste, reflects Mr. Gordon's success in authoring two bills -- AB 1149 and AB 525 -- last year that provided incentives for state manufactures to re-use plastic and to stop using landfills for tire disposals.
"The importance of recycling and living more sustainably is critical now more than ever," Mr. Gordon said in a statement. "I applaud Californians Against Waste in their ongoing leadership and being on the forefront of reducing waste and promoting recycling in California."
