Garbage as a source for energy

Sweden is the 10th most clean country in the world but today I don't want to talk about how do they keep their country clean. Everyone in this world makes trash , uses garbage etc ,so logically it's not really possible to have everything clean, so how can we do it?This is what they did in Sweden.They take the garbage (and it's not only from Sweden it's also from other European countries) ,and they "make"energy from it.Newspapers are turned into paper mass, bottles are reused or melted into new items, plastic containers become plastic raw material; food is composted and becomes soil or bio gas through a complex chemical process. Rubbish trucks are often run on recycled electricity or bio gas. Wasted water is purified to the extent of being potable. Special rubbish trucks go around cities and pick up electronics and hazardous waste such as chemicals. Pharmacists accept leftover medicine. Swedes take their larger waste, such as a used TV or broken furniture, to recycling centers on the outskirts of the cities.Some Swedish companies have voluntarily joined in the struggle. For example, H&M has begun accepting used clothing from customers in exchange for rebate coupons in an initiative called Garment Collecting.

Let's follow Switzerland

Hey dear reader , 
I'm here again to talk with yo because I got a Google Alert. Do you know what is it like? It's like an alarm clock. Common things are that they wake us up and we go to change something ... Yeah,school is the biggest change-it's a pot where a lot of people understand what they will change in the world .. So  want to talk about my Google Alert Alarm Clock that always wakes me up and reminds me to continue "Change challenge". Anyway , let's start.
I was doing a research and I found out that Switzerland is in the first place as world's cleanest country. I was really impressed when I was looking at the pictures , everything was balanced and neat .So I tried to find out how do they make it and I found   this . They are having major clean ups around the places, which we already knew. But they also reduce the amount of packaging the product and they literally tell the litterbugs not to litter. I think it's a good idea to use the "trash" with art and make stuff that can actually brig any people from everywhere to see that!I liked this idea very much ! If yo did so too, then follow us on twitter and spread it as much as you can .
