  • Natural resources may be limited, but humanity's consumption guarantees an abundance of one unlikely "resource" -- garbage. On average, a typical American throws out about four pounds of trash per day, or more than 240 million tons of garbage every year. Most of that waste winds up in landfills and releases methane as it decomposes. But what if that gas could be harnessed as a clean energy source?
    Correspondent Peter Standring visits a California landfill to see how one waste disposal company is turning trash from its landfills into clean-burning fuel for its garbage trucks.

    This is cool as hell People, and this is the exact reason why I put paper and other biodegradables in My trash can, and all of the Recycleables where they need to go, because I know that My Trash may be going to make methane for renewable gas.
    That's cool that You admitted who Your parent company is.
