Green facts

Did you know?
Over 14 million metric tons of Styrofoam is produced annually, most of which ends up in landfills due to the lack of an efficient system for recycling it.

254 million tons: The amount of municipal solid waste Americans generated in 2007. Containers and packaging made up —30.9 percent, or 78.4 million tons.

20 Million: The amount of trees consumed each year for books, 4 million of those for textbooks.

sure thing

Bathroom final numbers are still not available, even tho the Certificate of Occupancy was issued over a week ago. The bathrooms have taken OVER TWO YEARS to complete so its probably not fair to expect the final numbers for another six months or so, taking into consideration the state of disarray and disorganization that exists in the Finance Dept. They have already admitted to $414,000 as of six months ago, so by the time they are finished massaging the numbers to minimize the incredibly wasteful final figures, we MAY have those final sums by Xmas. Will that meet the FOI requirements for timely disclosure? The over/under is $500,000. Take the over, its a lock. The buck stops where? Who is responsible for overseeing this, yet another, costly and wasteful (to the taxpayers) disaster? Gymbo and his Rubber-Stamp Band! They have NEVER met a City construction project whose costs they couldnt TRIPLE, at least! and 300%, 400$ and greater cost overruns are NOT beyond their capabilities either! How do they do it??? Could it be Black Magic? Or just their own special brand of a municipal Black Hole? Money goes in by the truckload and is NEVER seen again. It just disappears, truckloads at a time. OUR money. OUR tax money. While celestial scientists still dont know what causes galactic Black Holes, no oversight, constant cost overruns and change orders cause municipal Black Holes, like we have at City Hall. They gotta go.

CleanTech uses municipal waste

Americans throw away over 250 million tons of garbage every year. Out of all that garbage, approximately 32 percent is recovered and recycled or composted, 14 percent is burned at combustion facilities, and the remaining 54 percent (or 135 million tons of garbage) is disposed of in landfills. Because of limited disposal options, many municipalities are forced to transport garbage from local transfer stations to available landfills over long distances as well as pay increasingly higher tipping fees for landfill operators to take their garbage. Landfill operators dispose of garbage by burying it under mounds of dirt where, over time, toxins in the garbage can leach into our water supplies, or by burning it in incinerators releasing many of the toxic materials in the garbage into the atmosphere. We have licensed and developed a group of technologies that used together can process municipal garbage into usable energy products. We use the cellulosic material in municipal garbage to make ethanol by first converting it into a sugar and water mixture. Our ethanol production technology uses a two-stage dilute acid hydrolysis process that recycles heat and acid from each stage of the process to efficiently make C5 and C6 sugars from cellulosic material. The resulting sugars are fermented and distilled into a fuel grade ethanol.Latest NewsCleanTech Biofuels, Inc.
