Chapter 4

In chapter four of Garbology, by Edward Humes, I found surprising how the "largest active municipal in the country" Puente Hills landfill has been active for two decades since 1993. I have known that our garbage created pollution, but i was astonished that our dumps create dangerous toxic chemicals in our oxygen. I wonder if the community of Puente Hills would choose to create a plant to decrease their waste in the landfill. I think that Puente Hills community should have approved the power plant because their trash has blocked their view since it taller than the height of the plant. In this chapter i was surprised by the waste questions at the end of the chapter, as i tried to answer the questions i only got two right. The question that surprised me the most was the one that we spend eight months of our time to dispose junk mail.
