should we use garbage for energy production? absolutely! but the question is, how can we do it in such a way as to not be deluded into thinking that it’s now ok not to be careful about our garbage.

how can we think of garbage being more precious?

doesn’t it all come down again to: how can we think of all of life being more precious?

I will just have to replace that activity with something else...hmm how about cruising around town in my gas guzzling hot rod. How about investing in companies that have a proven track record in the green industries? No more twittering and blogging, how sad would that be.

We should be striving personally and commercially to lessen waste. Land fills are going to be a huge problem and the pollution they create. Dont buy into the garbage-as-energy philosophy. Its a fantasy to think that putting all our trash into an engine is going to cure two problems. There wil obviously be more by-product pollution to take care of. Conservation. Re-think how we consume energy and product. Alternative fuels. Lessen the burden of traditional energy sources. You are bang on the money... Yes Matt, right on the money.
