This article talks about Sweden discovering a new way to use trash. The trash becomes energy. Also,they reduce garbage which is only four percent of the garbage in Sweden that ends up a landfill. In the United States,250 million tons of trash were generated in 2010 alone, only about 34 percent was recycled.
However, Sweden has recently begun importing around 800,000 tons of trash annually from other countries. For example,Norway is paying them now. and in the future, Bulgaria, Romania and Italy will be trash exporters to Sweden. It was surprising that Sweden succeeded to reduce trash.I think that we should start reduce and deduce our things for environment. and then if one of country succeeded something, they help each other for the world.
