Abstract:
Records of the Coalition, a non-profit citizens' action group, founded in 1980, whose goal was to promote public education on the value of recycling and resource conservation through canvassing, environmental fairs and forums, publicity, and lobbying. Their initial goal was to pass a beverage container law in Wisconsin and to raise the funds necessary to combat the lobbying efforts of the beverage industry, both of which were largely unsuccessful, and the Coalition was dissolved in 1985. Included is correspondence, news clippings, reports, newsletters, surveys, a public relations slide show, financial records, membership information, and lobbying files.
