Today we visited the largest landfill project in the world. More than 1,000 trucks full of garbage are sent to this place. Imagine a layer of soil, then a layer of (processed) garbage, then a layer of soil, and so forth. To create land where there was ocean. Imagine using gas released from the garbage to generate enough energy for 18,000 households. How cool is that?!
I think it's fabulous, especially since all we seem to hear is terrible, terrible environmental situations and the like. Here's a place with a solution. I like it!
Not everyone agrees; we saw banners placed by residents who think the landfill is a bad idea.
Gotta go.
