Burning garbage

Somehow I managed to see a post by one of my Facebook friends. I do not have any idea if link is useful to anyone, but this is the video: We should burn our garbage like Sweden does.

Sadly, it took a while to track down the URL, and, in the process, I managed to get myself in an argument with a stranger that pretends to know me.

Never argue with a fool?

Here is a related article to that video. Both say that Sweden burns 99% of its garbage for energy. The video says that it is 99% clean, although considering how much garbage they burn, that 1% adds up. The article says that incineration is not as clean as recycling, but reduces carbon emissions over landfills.

Foreign media reports Sweden has run out of garbage and is forced to import - here's what's really going on - Business Insider Nordic
