Incineration

On my flight on the way over to Las Palmas, I noticed a huge plume
of white smoke coming from some building. It was so far away that
it was hard to tell what it was but I suspect that it was an incineration
plant.

These are places where residential and industrial waste is quite
simply burned into the atmosphere. I think that in this day and age
that having to burn rubbish is prehistoric!! Surely most of that waste
can be recycled or reused in some way.

I find it good to see that the government here in Ireland are
beginning to encourage people to recycle vegetables and waste
that breaks down quite quickly for other uses such as compost or
fertilizer.

Already thousands of people recycle their glass, tin cans and paper
which is good to see.
