LOS ANGELES, OFTEN DEPICTED BY ITS SMOGGY BLANKET OF POLLUTION HAS FINALLY PUT THAT YUCKINESS TO GOOD USE. WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS BEGUN FUELING MORE AND MORE OF ITS TRUCKS WITH “TRASH GAS”. TRASH GAS IS LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS FROM THE METHANE GENERATED THROUGH THE DECOMPOSITION OF WASTE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE NASTY SMELL THAT COMES FROM GARBAGE IS BEING USED AS FUEL! WASTE MANAGEMENT IS FUELING ITS 1000TH TRUCK THIS WEEK WITH THE SO-CALLED “TRASH GAS”. GOOD NEWS, TRASH GAS EMITS UP TO 90% FEWER CARBON EMISSIONS THAN DIESEL- POWERED TRUCKS. SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY GARBAGE BURNS…CLEANER? IRONIC ISN’T IT?
