They also used slat water. You would think that they would do the same thing in Hawaii as they have a lot of both.

"The disposal of organic waste poses an environmental challenge as it emits large amounts of greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change,"

Stop. End there. Next article.

"Inspiration for my research, from an Indigenous perspective, involves Caring for Country, ensuring there's a sustainable life cycle

Aww crap. I kept reading.

An organic product that will decompose over time. Will basically be aerated concrete which is already known to have limited lifetime.

You may want to consider keeping coffee grounds to burn in the winter for heat when the non-green power sources are completely phased out.

Coffee Grounds ---

As with the compost and roses fanciers' notions, we do both. A pot of filtered espresso a day provides a nice supply. I will garden today with them!

What gauge wire would you need for running 2.1 GW between mr.fusion and the flux capacitor?

Just asking, because it’s not conspicuous on the delorean. /geek

I know that that the science is there to reduce every to its constitutional elements. They jolt the garbage with thousands of volts and they heat up the garbage to something like 1800C, all within a second. The combination of electricity and heat like that breaks the bonds of molecules and the garbage gets to elements.

It is new, but it looks huge to me.

“…a staggering 10 billion kilograms of coffee waste”

You want staggering? I produce half of that all by myself.

[[ “The disposal of organic waste poses an environmental challenge as it emits large amounts of greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change,”]]

The bs just never stops with those folks. The facts refute their ignorant claims- co2 isn’t anywhere near a large enough “greenhouse gas” to cause even a smidgen of movement o e way or the other climate-wise.

“invents a way to separate garbage easily”

Ever see the monster separaters they use in Disaster Recovery areas? Everything in, shredded sorted comes out.

Reduce, Reuse, Recyle.
We got the model already.

Begins with reducing Packaging waste.
crazy how much plastic and paper is used is some packages.

Then reducing consumer waste.
Weird how they recycle all those white foam takeout food containers in Japan.

Then recycling all the basics metals.
I watch a very entertaining Dumpster Diver YouTube guy in Texas, Mike the Scavenger. Even he leaves soda/pop/cola/beer cans behind.

Then BURN the rest for energy production.
