About Gary Liss
We are honored to announce that Gary is our first Boot Camp speaker.
Gary founded Gary Liss & Associates, where he is the President and Managing Director. He is the national leader in developing city wide Zero Waste plans and has worked on more Zero Waste community plans than any other individual in the United States. Serving international, national, state, municipal and private-sector clients, his success has been built upon a history of solving problems and creating environmental programs with major economic benefits.
Mr. Liss has helped design and implement Zero Waste Programs in many cities, states, and countries including: Los Angeles, Oakland, Burbank, Alameda, Palo Alto, Glendale, Oceanside, Del Norte County and San Jose in California, Austin (TX,), Telluride (CO), County of Hawaii (HI), Arkadelphia (AR), Central Vermont, Waveney (UK), New Zealand and Nelson, BC in Canada. He is often the “go-to” person for national media on Zero Waste issues and has been included in articles in Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
Mr. Liss has a Masters in Public Administration from Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey and a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering major) from Tufts University. In 2005, he went through extensive training in Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives and is now a Certified ZERI System Designer. ZERI founder Gunter Pauli recommends Gary to help communities in pursuing Zero Waste. Gunter highlights that “There is no unemployment in eco-systems” and encourages people to think outside of the box to find opportunities for new businesses and new jobs from resources that others have discarded.
About Boot Camp
A new dawn is breaking. We’re entering the age of the resource-based economy. A triple bottom line focusing on People, Planet, and Profit is replacing sole focus on the bottom line.
Starting this January, Adbongo Inc. will begin Clean Economy Boot Camp trainings featuring leading sustainability, zero waste and business development experts from across the nation to help show the way forward towards the Clean Economy.
Adbongo, Inc. has been in the trenches putting the puzzle pieces together since 2006. Now, we are in the final stages of developing our resource recovery park plan, a large-scale project that will transform the city’s trash into cash and jobs for the community.
We are offering you the opportunity to participate in the design of one of the first Zero Waste Resource Recovery Parks in Texas. Reserve your niche in an ecosystem (cluster) of businesses that will change the way business is done, and learn best practices pertaining to economic development, sustainable development, and the new clean economy. This knowledge is vital to anyone who wants to be part of a local sustainability program. This is your chance to be part of bringing this pioneering movement to Dallas. Participants in this first Boot Camp workshop will be considered first as potential participants in this Dallas Resource Recovery Park.
Businesses, non-profits and government are joined by an emerging fourth sector called “The For Benefit Enterprise”, merging the structure of for-profits with the mission of non-profits. The Harvard Business Review is writing about the model Adbongo is using. The National Business Incubator Association is spotlighting our program next month. We feel blessed to see our dream coming to life, and it is with great happiness that we invite you to participate in and benefit from this new future.
If this workshop does not fully meet your expectations, we offer a 100% money back guarantee. We expect a complete sell out. Grab your seats and book your ticket now.

- ID types, amounts and sources of materials discarded.
- Design waste out of the system and identify EPR opportunities.
- ID service opportunities where new services are needed to fill gaps in current reuse, recycling and composting services.
- Select policies, programs and facilities needed. Consider if resource recovery park needed. Support existing reuse, recycling and composting businesses and nonprofits.

- ID “low-hanging” fruit for short-term success and long term strategy and goals.

The Four Keys to Zero Waste (according to the GrassRoots Recycling Newtork):
Garbage is not inevitable. It is the result of bad design. It can be designed out of the system.
Key #1: New Rules & Economic Incentives
Rules make us and we make the rules. We need new rules because the old ones are not working. Economics is not a matter of immutable laws, but human-made rules and institutions.
Key #2:Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) & Product Stewardship
Local Government can't control design, manufacture and distribution of products, but it can control what is sold and disposed within the community, and it can collaborate with other local governments to drive for changes at the state and national level.
Key #3: Purchasing for Zero Waste & EPR
One of every five purchasing dollars are spent by government. We should use our tax dollars to purchase the future we want. The combined power of government/large contractor purchasing will dictate changes in product design and manufacturing that we cannot legislate.
Key #4: Financing & Transitioning to a Zero Waste Future
What infrastructure do we need in a world without waste? Who will pay for it? What alternatives to landfills and incinerators do we need right now?
