Today we spent the morning at the district conference. There were some very inspiring speeches! After lunch we went to Ewapower and the city run company that creates fuel out of waste. They have 90% waste diversion in Finland and it is truly amazing. They plan to completely get rid of landfills in the near future. Waste is seperated at the sourse, by the people, which is the only way to make their system of recycling everything they can and using the rest for power work.
After visitng the waste-to-energy facilities, we returned to the district conference to give our presentation about Finland and Canada. It was very well received. We also had a chance to meet the team that will be going to Canada from Finland in a couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteOur daughter-in-law (Engineer)was very instrumental in designing similar project (Ottawa - Plasco Energy Group), and will be interested in seeing this blog.
We got a (all the nuts & bolts)tour on last visit ... Fascinating !!
