In Sweden, Trash is Treasure. Literally speaking! For your discussion, I am including below links to news items profiling Sweden's appetite for trash; it! needs trash for creation of its heat and electricity. So much so that it includes importing it from Norway! While it is a noble effort towards sustainable consumption, it makes for interesting 'trash supply chain' headaches such as, spoilage during transportation leading to spread of germs/bacteria, need to clean and sanitize transportation carriage after delivery, etc., to name a few. Not to mention increased carbon footprint of transporting items from another country, thereby somewhat offsetting benefits realized through sustainable consumption. Provide your opinion on what you learned from these news items. In your discussion, you may include your insights on whether or not is this the best course of action, and what other inputs for power generation can be explored by Sweden. News Item 1: In Sweden, Trash Heats Homes, Powers Buses and Fuels Taxi Fleets (clicking this link will download the item as a PDF file) News Item 2: Sweden forced to import trash from Norway to create heat and electricity (clicking this link will download the item as a PDF file) On a separate note, New York City actually markets/sells its garbage online (http://bydgarbage.com c) and is quite effectively at that! In addition to contributing to discussion (minimum 300 words), you are expected to reply (minimum 100 words) to at least one of your classmates. Note that you must post your discussion blog before you will be able to see other students' replies. In Sweden, Trash is Treasure. Literally speaking!
