TRASH INTO ENERGY!!

Could it be? Our daily household trash being turned into energy! Our landfills could be the nation's future use of energy. The twenty-one landfills in NJ are almost equal to the amount in Texas. Although it is not very good to have so many landfills in one state, they are about to make the trash useful. The decomposing garbage in NJ is letting out methane gas, which is used to produce fuel that generates electricity. Later through the years, environmentalists wish to make more out of landfills with solar and wind power. Tom Marturano, A director of solid waste and natural resources for the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission said "It's like you're buying back your own garbage, but in a different form." Corozine, governor of New Jersey keeps high hopes that by 2020, thirty percent of "New Jersey's electricity is supplied by the renewable energy source of methane gas. This gas created by micro-organisms that feed on organic substances; however, the bacteria do not feed on any specifics. It has modified to trash such as cardboard and plastic. In order to collect the methane gas, perforated bases with tubes that extend far are drilled into the landfill.
I think this is a very useful way to light the homes of New Jersey in a renewable way. This can be the future's energy. We should continue collecting methane gas and try to produce energy naturally. There should be some use of the garbage we produce, and now there is.
