This disk contains a collection of interviews of recycling activists who met at the Blue Mountain Center at Blue Mountain Lake, New York on June 1-3, 2007. The interviews were held in a chain format with each interviewer/ interviewee pair switching roles and performing a second interview after the first. The participants include 14 prominent members of the recycling field with discussions held in 22 separate audio tracks. Each participant is asked a series of questions from an established list (a copy of the list is included in the inventory folder). The audio tracks contain extensive descriptions about the lives and careers of the participants. Specific focus is made on their involvement with a number of key topics in recycling, which include recycling as a social movement, the organization of recycling, landfills, waste energy and incineration, and personal opinions about the field and its future. Most participants also took the opportunity to relate a number of personal anecdotes about recycling and their involvement with it. The 22 digital recordings on the DVD are in both .MP3 and .DVF formats. Dan Knapp and the Institute for Local Self Reliance are responsible for coordinating the collections of material related to recycling for donation to the UIS Archives.
