MORA Goals
- Provide Information and technical support to help consumers, business and governments to reduce waste, recycle and buy recycled products
- Reduce waste through consumer purchasing decisions - pre-cycling
- Recover waste with safe and affordable systems for collection and processing
- Develop local " waste-based" industries to manufacture products from recovered materials
- Promote pollution prevention and the efficient use of resources to protect the air, water and land
MORA Board Proposed By-Law Changes
One of the targets for the MORA Board of Directors during this past year was a comprehensive review of the MORA bylaws. The work on the bylaws began in earnest in August 2009. The board finalized the proposed bylaw amendments at the January and February 2010 board of directors meetings. At the annual conference in May, the MORA board will present 15 proposed bylaw changes for our members' consideration.
The full text of these proposed changes and a ballot can be found in the following documents.
