Oooh ... tagging trash with wireless location devices. Cool! Now, if I had gotten involved with something like THIS when I was at MIT, maybe I'd still want to be an engineer.
The Toronto Star uncovers that its city's composting program "is a sham." Haven't you always wondered about that whenever you've recycled? Waste managers could just put it all in the same pile without anyone ever knowing...
I'm not a fan of the name. I think it should be called a "junk-gym" instead of an "eco-gym," But still, totally cool concept of building outdoor exercise equipment with found items.
Also, the post on MAKE didn't link to it, but here's a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alvy/sets/72157600132263934/">sweet photo gallery on Flickr</a>.

Eric and Andrew Day propose going back to burning our trash, but instead of using open-air incinerators or even high-temperature Basic Oxygen furnaces, they like the idea of burning our crap in electric plasma furnaces at temperatures in excess of 15,000 degrees Celsius. Take everything that would have gone to the landfill, add to it, if you like, everything that would have been recycled, and even leave in the really bad stuff like medical waste, toxic waste, heavy metals, and radioactive waste. Grind it all up into little chunks, some of which could be in a chemical or water slurry, and pump it into the plasma furnace.
