PROTESTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CONFERENCE
Activists will gather June 8, 1994, at 8:30 a.m. at the
headquarters of WMX Technologies, Inc. (formerly Waste
Management, Inc.), 720 Butterfield Rd., Oak Brook, Illinois to
protest a symposium WMX is sponsoring called “Environmental
Justice: The Search for Balance.” The welcoming speaker on the
topic of “Environmental Justice” will be Dean Buntrock, chairman
and CEO of WMX. According to Brenda Kenealy of WMX Technologies
[(718) 572-8934] the confirmed keynote speaker is the Reverend
Ben Chavis, executive director of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). No one at NAACP
headquarters could confirm Mr. Chavis’s participation for us.
