Waste-to-Energy Survey
For my ninth grade project I am researching opinions about Waste-to-Energy conversion. This is the process of incinerating solid waste from land fills to create electrical energy. Waste-to-Energy can be very expensive but provides renewable energy and reduces landfill waste. Although it reduces landfill waste it can emit some air pollution and also eliminates some incentives for recycling.
