Zero Waste Park

Will cities invest $300 million (comparable to purchasing an incinerator) in Zero Waste Parks that handle all their recycling, composting and waste? What if these parks also reduce landfill by 90% and mostly eliminate methane emissions?

Eric Lombardi pulls together all the ways people currently handle waste. "None of the technologies in my park is new," Lombardi said. "They're simple, proven, low-tech and little risk." If landfill organics were eliminated, he said, the climate change effect would be equivalent to eliminating 20 percent of US coal fired power plant.
