Sweden ran out of trash!

This is very interesting new. As you read, Sweden just ran out of his own trash because they used it to make energy. Sounds cool, isn't it? Not much for them, though. Now they have to import garbage from other countries! Sounds ironic in part, but I think is better that way. Because that means we could eliminate all the trash accumulated from decades and use it for good, and nobody likes dumps. They are too smelly and unhealthy.

What would happen if trash were that important to us in this country? People just wouln't throw away his trash, and it wouldn't exist so many illegal dumps across the country. I think we need some more time to have more recycling habits, if somehow we could organize, I just don't see why we can't reuse our garbage.

Anyway, they way Sweden use it garbage is by incinerating to produce electricity. So only 4 percent is stored in their dumps. Now they import garbage from Norway. They burn it and send it back as ashes. Norway is even paying Sweden to do that. What a deal!

Here's the link where I got the news. In the meantime I'll figure out if someday in this country we could be more like Sweden. I think we are actually acquiring more environmental friendly habits, and I want to believe we can achieve it.
