Hey guys, I just wanted to share some interesting facts I saw in the news yesterday. I have never seen or heard anything like this before, and it's really interesting!
There's about 1,200 metric tons of garbage dumped everyday in one of the biggest garbage land sites in Philippines. There's so much garbage there now, you could fill up about 4 football stadiums!
So basically what their doing is, is that their taking the methane gas that the garbage gives off, and their converting it into electricity. So the garbage is basically another source of electricity now, and since their's so much garbage, there's much more electricity generated!
I'm NOT saying make more garbage, I'm just saying that it's a really nice idea to turn something bad (garbage) into something we need now, which is electricity. So, if you have any creative ideas or any way to help save our planet in a unique way like what the Philippines are doing, leave a comment or click on the Email Me button on the side bar.
That huge mountain your seeing right there is all garbage, not even 1% land.
Thanks for reading!
