More than 40 renewable energy, product waste , and strategy companies from Sweden and the US met at the Swedish -American Chamber of Commerce e-days in San Diego to discuss waste-to-energy ideas. Sweden has been instrumental in developing successful technology in using most of its waste towards energy. California currently has 50% of its waste it doesn't recycle. Sweden's companies have a great deal to offer and California has embraced them whole heartedly.
The SACC conference gave a great opportunity for Swedish and American Companies to develop and expand their partnership in creating a more energy efficient planet.
Our Swedish American representative Valarie Budayr is celebrating Earth Day at Mount Trashmore. UT Recycles is making a mountain of trash to host a visual representation of the actual amount of waste generated on camp. Each day UT generates 46,640 pounds of wate. On average 60-0% of this material can be recycled.
These are just a few ideas of how we can lessen our impact on the planet. Let us know what you are doing for Earth Day.
