I took a tour of the Salt Lake County Landfill once as a helper on my daughter's fourth grade field trip. This made my trip to the Wonder Bread factory as a young student suddenly much more appealling. I learned plenty, however. What we had affectionally called "the dump" for years is now a land fill. The difference is in the science. Whereas a dump is merely a place to deposit our broken, discarded items, a landfill creates energy and products out of our waste. Did you no that the Methane Gas produced and harnessed at the Salt Lake County Landfill powers the entire city of Murray?
This blog is an effort for me to discard some of the thoughts and worries that plague the modern forty plus year old woman. I do not wish to create a space of useless refuse. I want to harness some of this energy and be able to create and redefine the garbage in my heart and mind.
