Wasted: New York City's Giant Garbage Problem

This article is basically about the bad and the good stuff that happens to the waste us New Yorkers create. My group and I were reading it and we learned that the waste in the old days was either burnt in the incinerators, throw in the ocean or just picked up to be sent to a poor neighborhood. The article was also saying that Steven Cohen had an idea of how to convert the garbage into energy but certain people did not agree with that. Even thought they did not like his idea they came up with something new that involve high pollution truck to carry out the garbage into a landfill, which was still bad because the trucks cause pollution.

While reading this article I just thought that in wasnt fair that in some cases the trash that was collected was sent to the poor neighborhoods. Also i found it interesting that before there used to be incinerators that burned the waste in the buildings. I felt that the article was very informative because of that i leanred what the people in the past did with the waste before the new system we have now.
