<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Pete, Damon and all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The EPA"s WARM calculator can give you an estimate of
metric tons CO2 generated or reduced based on the various solid waste
management options. However, before we get too wound up in the waste
management/disposal shell game, I think we should try to invest our energy, pun
intended, on source reduction, which provides the most CO2 reductions.
Also available on the WARM calculator. <o:p></o:p></p>

color:#1F497D'>The cost for the 25 clinical pharmacies utilizing the Spokane
Waste to Energy Facility is 8.25 cents per pound ($165.00/ton) at the gate. The
most of the pharmacies utilize a reverse distributor for transport and to
assure regulatory compliance with the regulations. As per previous discussions,
WTE Facilities generate power, vs incinerators that use lots of fossil fuels.
The air pollution equipment utilized and air quality regulations are similar
and therefore the emissions are very similar. However, a WTE facility produces
electricity at a net emission rate of<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><b><i>negative</i></b><span
