chapter 04

The thing about chapter four is that it caught my attention by using a CEO for a anecdote, the other thing is that he can safely be called America's king of trash due to the fact that he has $12 billion in revenues with over 22 million customers surprised me.  It is pleasant to hear another persons point of view on trash, even from someone who made a fortune out other peoples trash. He can literally take the old saying "One mans trash is another mans treasure" seriously.  His ideas of trash has really have an effect on major corporations like Walmart to truly recapture the value of trash, to go toward zero waste, and to close the loop that we currently are going through.  The interesting fact that I found was that the largest garbage company started with a Dutch immigrant who later passed it down through the generations describing all of its ups and downs which later lead to the creation of WMI" Waste Management Incorporation." A way that the garbage companies are helping with the environment is by fueling their trash trucks with natural gases that they gather from our trash which I think that if its going so well for them why not share it with the rest of the world to reduce the landfills and to give us the opportunity to generate our own natural fuel system for our vehicles and homes.  This is some really cool stuff that everyone could benefit from like us burying our own trash so we can get our own natural fuel and the sanitation rules that finally took action in the 1980's should have kicked in earlier like thirty yrs. ago.
