What is the future of trash? Humans today create a lot of garbage. In the past it was much less. People owned fewer things, used things longer, and much of their waste decomposed. Today, trash has the staying power, made from materials that will still be intact, when we are no longer there. In the US, trash sometimes goes for landfill, where it is dumped in a lined pit, compacted, and converted with soil in a sequence of layers. Other garbage is incinerated (destroyed by burning). More and more localities are making it necessary for residents to separate recyclable materials. These are reprocessed or, sometimes, incinerated to produce energy. Some areas of the planet face extreme waste disposal situations. Out of which Antarctica is surprisingly one. Decades of exploration in these areas have produced more than 70 waste sites that contain solid waste of all kinds as well as chemicals and heavy metals that must be contained. Cycles of freezing and thawing, paired with the logistics and expense of transporting waste or neutralizing contaminated land, pose formidable challenges. Charged chemical compounds that trap pollutants have shown some success and may have applications in similar habitats, such as northern Russia and Alaska. Landfills receive about 55 percent of all garbage in the US. Researchers are investigating ways to turn trash into fuel, such as extracting cellulosic ethanol from paper refuse. In India the government is on the verge of banning single use plastic and is also planning to utilise trash in road building.

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along—said George Herbert Welsh-born poet, orator, and priest of the Church of England.

In a very recent survey in the US 84% people could not name the capital of Ukraine as reported by a TV channel. Well the capital of Ukraine is Kiev. Ukraine is in the news for the wrong reason on account of a conversation between President Donald Trump and the President of Ukraine.
