Brazil Garbage Dump Could Be Climate Trailblazer post #1  quote:



Okay, this sounds strange at first, but it is rooted in viable economic & scientific ground...

Brazil Garbage Dump Could Be Climate Trailblazer
quote:
A Brazilian garbage dump could be a trailblazer for thousands of projects in developing nations under a U.N. plan to battle global warming, a Norwegian company said Wednesday.
[...]
In the giant landfill at Nova Gerar in Rio de Janeiro state, methane from rotting garbage will be burned to generate electricity. That will stop the fumes from adding to global warming, dampen dangers of explosions and bring new income.

Tha actually sounds pretty neat. Brazil has been doing a lot of things lately that are ahead of the game. I read recently that the country will be completely energy independant within the next 5 years.

That’s a major step towards advancement by Brazil. I think if every country would think like that than this problem could be minimized very efficiently.
