Summary

Let’s get analytical today when we talk about waste: what is it really costing our communities? We’re discussing the economic and social downfalls of a disposable society, plus possible solutions. It’s easy to simply encourage recycling and composting, but we also have to realize the policies and infrastructure currently in place. Waste-To-Energy electricity and fuel generation is also a hot topic, but there are cons to those systems, too. Where do we need our markets to go, and how do we deal with the trash we already have?
