Join Cooperative Federal and other Green Core Companies to be recognized for your sustainable business practices!
I think its a wonderful opportunity for collaboration, says Suzanne Williams, executive director of Syracuses Habitat for Humanity. We have a wonderful workshop right below our offices and before Green Train came along, that space was dormant. Indeed, there is a giant storage space and workshop area underneath Habitat for Humanitys offices on Otisco Street, which now acts as one of the home bases for Green Train workers on the Near West Side (They also operate out of the West Side Learning Center). The Green Train program will continue to build on the Northside, West Side, and in other places throughout Syracuse through collaborations with residents and organizations. There will be another Green Train program for Near West Side residents in the spring, and Robinson is also working on a pilot health training program on the Northside. He hopes that a successful run of this program will have implications for other neighborhoods in Syracuse as well. Its difficult to live in poverty and have aspirations and not have access, Robinson concludes. Theres a natural callous for communities like that. It challenges people like me- well meaning white folk- to be serious about what were trying to do. Its not just talkWere really going to achieve something here.
Federal Credit Union is dedicated to socially responsible banking. We work to revitalize our community - so taking care of our environment and operating our business sustainably fits us perfectly. Christina Sauve We participate in Green Core Assistant Treasurer to demonstrate that were Cooperative Federal serious about sustainability!

continued... Youre not going to take the profit out of scrapping, Palmere said. He said the only way to truly deter people would be to increase the punishments for people caught stealing and selling scrap metal. He said the consequences as they are right now arent nearly harsh enough. David Levitt, a project manager for Empire Recycle Corporation, the parent company of Syracuse Materials Recovery, said his company requires any seller to provide photo identification, regardless of the price of the deal. They also keep a database of all deals theyve made. He said he thinks his companys policies cut down on the amount of scrap metal people try to sell them. While he agrees with Palmere that people are always going to be able to find a place to sell scrap metal no matter what the scrap yards do, he thinks the yards have the ability to influence these types of crimes. In the end, it all comes down to the principles of supply and demand. Said Levitt: If they know they cant just pull up and cash in, that stops some people.
continuar ... trabajar con la polica. l sigue la ley y los documentos de todas las ofertas de ms de $ 50, pero no las de menor valor. Tambin requiere una identificacin con foto para las ofertas de ms de $ 50. Dijo que la polica son bienvenidos a mirar a su base de datos en cualquier momento. Pero l no cree que esta es la forma ms eficaz de reducir este tipo de delito. Nunca vamos a poder terminar con el hecho de que hay dinero en el desguace, dijo Palmere. Dijo que la nica manera de disuadir a la gente en verdad sera aumentar las penas para las personas atrapadas robando y vendiendo chatarra. Dijo que las consecuencias, en estos momentos no son muy duras. David Levitt, un director de proyecto de reciclaje para el Imperio Corporation, la compaa matriz de Recuperacin de Materiales de Syracuse, dijo que su compaa requiere que cualquier vendedor que le proporcione una identificacin con foto, sin importar el precio de la compra. Tambin mantienen una base de datos de todas las compras que han hecho. l dijo que cree que las polticas de su empresa ha reducido la cantidad de chatarra de metal que las personas tratan de venderles. Mientras que l est de acuerdo con Palmere que la gente siempre va a ser capaz de encontrar un lugar para vender la chatarra, no importa lo que los depsitos de chatarra hacen, l piensa que los astilleros tienen la capacidad de influir en este tipo de delitos. Al final, todo se reduce a los principios de la oferta y demanda. Levitt dijo: Si ellos saben que no pueden levantarse y sacar provecho, esto va a parar algunas personas.
