that's how you dw, correspond. take shots in brussels, and set you up today. so i'll have more world news at the top of the our next on the w out of environment show planning a looks at the solutions to the build up of landfill sites containing calm interest aspects. good. the, this video change the world. it says us. so to is killing civilians and the rock optic type thing. it's julia songs became a wanted man. 14 years later the we can expound it is fine and the june is done during the traces. the stories of a soldier under volumes are off the attack. they speak to each other for the 1st time, a captivating story about the struggle for forgiveness. i'm sure. guardians of trees, julian, his terms and the dark secrets of war, starts to lie 27th on

d. w. the april 22nd 2024. a mess. if fire broke out at the gun support landfill site in valley, this was no ordinary fire, but a symptom of a much larger problem because it was supposed to have been shut down in 2002 instead of thirty's, reportedly kept sending up to 700 truckloads of thresh, there every day. it has piled up almost as high as it touched my home. when ways to compose is to release this meeting, highly flammable gas. so not really surprising that the whole thing burst into flames. but me thing is also a super potent greenhouse gas, the drives global warming. and as our mountains of the trash keep growing, more and more of it gets seeping out of the complex waste sites around the world. but there are ways to stop this foot scraps, plastic bottles,

some boxes. think about how many things you throw weight each day, depending on how in where you live. this might different a lot. different indian thought is all 500 trends of garbage every day. for the average american 2.2 keels. by the way, the us as the growth champion in the waste generation per capita, display of growth along with cds and the rising standard of living. this was part of the problem and does a pool. in 1984, when the lentil 1st opened, dallas population was not even 7000000. now it is about $34.00 meeting. the thirty's weren't ready for that. and on the planet right now we're 8 beaten people, producing $2.00 tons of rubbish every year. according to this year when study 38 percent ends up where it shouldn't some 2700000000 people like access to basic waste management services. so no protection multiplan disposal

due to ramona is the technical director at the international solid waste association. she's one of the supervisors of this study. so for the lack of those options, what do people end up doing? they take the reast, be stocked or blown on, don't pay the $1.00 single hole and dump that we spent. and so this is leading to a practice. there's no precise number for how many such dump sites stay on the planet. but each one is one to many. and it is important to distinguish here between dump sites and landfills. they have a different things on the site is with an absolutely new environmental control when it drains the water filters through the waist and fronts leach, it potentially toxic cook tele for many heavy chemicals and back to read among other things that so called of the trash leaking into the environment either to your water ways, your soil is or your air by open blending. and so all of these are emissions that

are ending up in the environment that i'm me sure one hand is harming the environment. and when i talk about your with health, essentially, if you have contaminated waste is going into a fluid systems under this mountain of thresh, where there is no oxygen. something else is happening. big team, we have breaking down organic waste and producing meeting one of the worst greenhouse gases in the short term. it's over 80 times more quote into taking the planet than carbon dioxide. or the waste sector accounts for 3 to 5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, dump sites and landfills are the biggest contributors in their descended terry landfills, which have more environmental controls to try to mitigate all those problems. they start to, to evolve. and the 20th century, especially in the 2nd half, also because the materials used in our products had become much more toxic to the natural environment. currently the united states has more than 2600 landfills. that's a lot of thresh,

americans have historically relied on landfills for many reasons. just to name a fuel consumption levels are really high. the country has wide open spaces available and using land. so was quite often seen as the cheapest option in the short term. that is why half of the trash produced by americans ends up there. so it's no wonder that the holes, the planets biggest landfill of its kind, according to the genus world records the apex landfill, outside of las vegas, it's big enough to accept waste for the next 250 years. landfill operators use several ways to tackle the problems of dumping trash to protect the ground from toxic chemicals. they start with a large hole in the ground line with giants in front of the layers of synthetic materials. kind of like a huge into swimming pool with a big plastic sheets in it. at the bottom, there's a drainage system to remove the lead shape that generated sensors can also be placed at the bottom layer to detect any possible leaks after delete to district

that it is turned into a usable water. now with days and engineered lands. so can also capture most of the meeting and meet it by making a kind of trash livonia. that stops most of it from going to the atmosphere. as the garbage is dumped, heavy tractors compact it and then cover it with an impermeable layer. dump compact cover. repeat over and over again. then i kind of system of pumps. 6 out most of the gas is generated, including the mid thing. at this point, there are 2 options. the me think capture can be important for a process called flaring that turns it from a super harmful greenhouse gas into a regular home for one c o 2. but this is a huge waste. your comes to the 2nd option. me think can generate heat electricity or renewable natural gas compar vehicles. for example, many us landfills use this technologist and we've been here, they meet it at altogether. they produce enough equivalent manager to color wouldn't meet and homes. this technique promise to reduce methane emissions by 60

to 90 percent. so problem solved not quite using special needs for red cameras on planes and satellites. research as have detected substantial leaks, currents measuring methods which usually rely on ground of sensations couldn't detect them. the researches found that us landfills that meet $1.00 times more meetings in official report. it's but it's not all bad news. this data can help linfield managers to detect leaks and reduce emissions straight away. however, not all solutions and this feels need to be so high tech because this is recommendation to reduce meat that emissions from landfill is much simpler and more straightforward. reduce the amount of organic waste to them because the methane emissions from landfills are produced when organic matter decomposes underneath a pile of garbage without oxygen. if we are thought the, literally i'm going to do the nations that with these dark radius, it is that the thoughts probably be situation or talk out i this is shara collie,

a scientists. we specialize in waste management in india, being a waldman wideman. i was and went is very good, flooded the condition of them what they did, so you feel deleting them scientifically. stuff gentlemen. i think we get back to the stop the maintain admission city in countries like india where around 50 percent of the garbage is what the waste avoided me. the landfills can be really effective and some places are being quite successful in implementing this policy. take my sewer, for example, with a population of more than one median. it produces between 40500 tons of waste daily . the 3rd is designed to the centralized system in which trash gets collected, segregated, and composted inside their neighborhoods. here it is important to remember that composting is primarily any aerobic process with oxygen where micro organizes breakdown organic matter. it can relate small amounts of meeting if it's not

properly done. if there isn't enough, the ration that is white fight off and you'll see people turning the compost regularly. in my 2 robots, 50 percent of all waste is combusted for that the collector goes from door to door before residents don't properly separate the trash do be find officials say only 5 percent of the trash goes to landfill, their goal is 0 waste middle risk management is like no risk shouldn't go for the plant or the line for you put in some patients less. so we're completely managing the risk. toby's dad, receiving from our different blocks of my city corporation, the combust produced is sold to local farmers in the horticulture department. when you look around india, this may feel like a drop in the ocean, but it is a great example that shows it can be done. combusting, also salt salt, another huge problem, almost one 3rd of the countries farmland surface from sleep deprivation barkley, due to the heavy use of chemical fertilizers. now we're getting composts is being

used on fonts to restore the lent. this is a great example of climbing up the letter of the waste higher key at the very bottom of it, this the worst possible way to get rid of the trash opened burning or dumping. that is where the width weighs we just saw would probably end up then comes disposal without an engine recovery like kinds of landfilling or incineration. next, this waste energy, which is an umbrella term for a few different methods like the west landfills. we saw generate electricity out of anything. here comes with psychic. this is where the composting examples are. even better is to reuse, things often refer to as up cycling. and at the top of it is prevention and reduction. the bart depends a lot on the waste producers. so companies as well as individual consumers going up into the room, it is not always easy closing dump sites and making lens feel better is a challenge and come to a long process. but it can be done. like and we get the generic it once hosted

latin, america's biggest dumpsite. judging that, i'm not sure which received over 80000000 tons of garbage in 30 years. the surrounding monroe forest was devastated by easily checked the opportunity give me much sense and of it. they search for a faith to my my here to keep car laugh, place they showed we shouldn't be at the bad. we saw the boyish ellen said nobody went about money, almost got to at least the biologist responsible for this restoration project. don't. this is think they both of them just that by just was once you know, truth bit i'm come i or i did your mind gives the mileage when i bought it some same thing but it died as you my, the main roof forest captures a huge amount of su to this kind of invitation can absorb up to 4 times more copland than other forest. and now we use waste goes to a modern landfill outside of the city. the site captures most of its methane emissions. according to the operator generates and off manage the power seat of $90000.00 residents. it is in modern engineered landfill,

which costs at around $19000000.00 us dollars. but that doesn't mean that the problem is solved in nearby gra marshall. there's still a legal dump sites. and even in the restoration project itself, there were problems with leaking lea checked in 2014, which now seems to have been assaulted. this approach isn't cheap and it's not perfect, but it does have a lot of potential. look at this graphic. it shows regions that's to have a huge number of opium dump sites. in this case some experts suggest that moving from dump sites to lentils would already be a step forward on the top of that separating at least organic trash before sending it to the landfill. like in missouri is something we can do when a global level of test reducing waste is the top priority to can also be reached worldwide is placed at the top of the pyramids. but let's face it right now. we're producing more and more trash worldwide. the power of smart waste management,

instead it can reduce costs in the long run. the higher up the waste pyramids, you go, the more money you can make from the trash. so just by making energy or re sending trash this company, and the more waste to collect in a controlled way, the less time it does to things harmons and the less money is needed to clean up this mess the. what about you? do you have any problems with the dump sides or landfills nearby where he lives in equal solutions around that is known to comments below. keep the life button and subscribe to our channel relieves new readers for you. every friday, the of the for the freeman house on this hollows in northern germany. my grandmother,
