GL responds Please read more about this topic which is unlikely to be permanently solved by fire trucks dowsing water on this massive pile of garbage (200,000 tons) .
>From the net: The disposal and treatment of waste can produce emissions of several greenhouse gases (GHGs), which play a role in global climate change. The absolute most significant GHG gas produced from waste is methane. It is released during the breakdown of organic matter in landfills. Other types of waste disposal also produce GHGs but these are mainly in the form of carbon dioxide (a less powerful GHG). Perhaps the recycling of waste produces some emissions (although these are offset because of the reduction in fossil fuels that would be expected to obtain new raw materials). Waste prevention and recycling help address global climate change by decreasing the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions and saving energy Regards, GL ------- From: Gilbert Lawrence <[email protected]> What ever happened to the criminal investigation into the Japanese funded garbage disposal project; where the local politicians (perhaps across the political spectrum) had their pockets lined with money meant for this international project? That may directly or indirectly answer the tragedy of the current problem. Regards, GL ---------------- From: Frederick Noronha?
