‘Stand-up economist’ to present at C&D World

C&D World 2016, May 1-3 in at the DoubleTree by Hilton in San Jose, California, has announced its educational program. Yoram Bauman, Ph.D., will provide the keynote at the annual meeting of the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA), Milwaukee.

“He will make attendees laugh about politics, economics, and especially make them think about tackling climate change with a carbon tax swap that uses revenue from a carbon tax to reduce existing taxes,” the CDRA says.

Other educational sessions at C&D World 2016 will cover important operational issues facing recyclers including: using telematics to optimally utilize your equipment fleet; and how to prevent and respond to facility fires.

A local fire official and David Devito, ReEnergy and CDRA secretary/treasurer, will provide tips on handling fire incidents at recycling facilities during the session “Fire Prevention Techniques,” Sunday, May 1 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Stan Orr, president, Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP), will provide information on how to best employ equipment in any job site, relying on information on his association’s latest book on telematics in the session “Telematics for Equipment,” Monday, May 2, from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m.
