		<description><![CDATA[If you must drive, choose a car that has been driven recently, rather than the one that has been sitting.
Starting a cold car? Warm up for 30 seconds, drive gently and avoid use of heater or AC for at least 10  minutes.

Car-pool, bus, bike, walk.
Cluster errands into the same trips.
Avoid cold starts. If there’s a choice, use the engine that’s still warm.
Park where you needn’t move your car until the next drive, and can drive off with minimum maneuvering.

		<description><![CDATA[The sale of Sonoma County’s solid waste system is now off the table. The County has 3.5 months to make set of crucial interrelated decisions. It is believed that to reopen the landfill each of the cities must commit their waste stream. A new task force, the Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG), is being organized which will provide a highly structured community forum to discuss and plan long-term solid waste management strategies. Led by Supervisor Zane, the group will include Supervisor Carrillo and a representative from each city council, assisted by a large advisory group with members from the business community, environmental groups, the Local Task Force for Solid Waste, city managers and county staff.]]></description>
