Waste to Energy, it is likely a reality for the lower mainland
Amazing how garbage is now in the news, we are definately at a cross roads in our region. Landfill space is diminishing and solutions for our region include Waste to Energy. I think it is likely a reality as our regions population is growing and is anticipated to grow in the next 30 years. With this growth the waste we generate will continue to grow as well. Sad! We are so sophisticated and technologically advanced … and yet we have not figured out a way to reduce our consumption or wasteful habits to help reduce the pressures on landfills.
Recycling what you can is imperative, there is no doubt. But even more important (and I feel that I am stating the obvious, so forgive me) but we must consume more effeciently to reduce the waste we create. We must buy services and products that deliver the goods in an environmentally sensitive and considerate way. Reducing our needs will go a long way in helping the pressure that is building on our local and global landfills.
Our economic success personally allows us to purchase goods to celebrate our successes. This is great! But we as society need to take it one step further, purchase goods that allign with a environmentally sensitive lifestyle.
