Did you know that in Edmonton, Alberta every single bag of garbage, recycling and compost gets collected by the 'garbage man' and sent to a giant facility for complete and total separation? Pretty rad stuff - I and think, if memory serves me correctly, it increased the life of Edmonton's aging landfill by a few decades.
Well this and other related topics are the kind of stuff that you'll learn about at the "Waste - The Social Context '08" conference this summer. Sounds like a great opportunity for those of you headed West for the summer! Check it out below.
