As Sustainable as Sweden
Today, landfills take in more than half of the world’s waste worldwide. One of the biggest environmental threats they pose is the production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, speeding up global warming. Often described as the world’s most sustainable country, Sweden has been setting an example for other nations with its renewable energy generation and emissions reduction. When it comes to waste, Sweden’s solution was a complete revolution of its waste management system. By turning all of its waste to energy, the Scandinavian nation is now able to keep its landfills empty while powering homes and buildings.
