During our class time in week four, we focused on doing heavy research. We are all still working on the same topics that were assigned previously, but we are having trouble finding accurate data for the waste produced by landfills and the capturing of methane for energy. Due to this, we will be attempting to contact more landfills in countries throughout Europe. In addition, today Colin emailed Professor Christopher Sales, a specialist in biodegradation of environmental contaminants and resource recovery from waste.

For our ENGR 103 project, we will be looking into the Swedish Trash Incineration programs. The country generates large amounts of electricity from this process and even imports trash to keep up with demands. We will research the environmental effects of this process as well as the environmental aspects of transporting trash into the country. If our research shows that the incineration of trash is more environmentally friendly than the use of landfills, we will look into its use in Philadelphia.
