Vogler resh off its success of getting the Annual Town Meeting to pass a single-use plastic bag ban and a ban on No. 6 Styrofoam food containers, the Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) “should keep doing what you did,” the guest speaker told members at its 46th Annual Meeting and Dinner on Wednesday night. F “There are not a lot of towns in the Commonwealth who have managed to do both,” said John Hite, the zero waste pilot coordinator for the Conservation Law Foundation, noting the rarity of SAVE’s success. Hite congratulated SAVE for its success on the two initiatives and encouraged members to pursue other projects in pursuit of the lofty goal of zero waste. “Yes, we can get to zero waste. We can get all the way there,” Hite said. He suggested that it’s all about looking at the plastic soda bottles, tin cans and toilet paper rolls and figuring out how to reduce, recycle and reuse items so they are less a part of the waste stream. “There’s a lot of stuff in our lives that’s unnecessary,” he noted.

SAVE President Ann Devlin said Hite was the ideal speaker for this year’s Annual Meeting and Dinner. “In light of our recent achievement at Town Meeting in passing the two bans, we thought it was fitting that tonight’s speaker focused on Zero Waste – what it means, is attainable and how to get there,” Devlin said. “We look forward to the year ahead and encourage your participation in whatever way you are able. What we are able to accomplish is dependent on our numbers and our combined strengths,” she said.
