Rare Snow in Georgia

I was supposed to give a presentation at a local elementary school today on energy from waste, specifically talking about my microbial fuel cell project, but the schools were let out two hours early for a snow storm! Snow in the south does not happen very often, so it is a big deal. I am happy to say my talk was rescheduled for later this month and I am looking forward to it! Here are some photos of the snow thanks to the Athens-Banner Herald >>

Roll-off in Aruba

While I take photos on my own travels, I also ask my students who travel to take photos of waste receptacles (especailly if they will be missing class). Many of my students have traveled to interesting and unique locations - and brought me back a photo. I will post some here, with their permission. Ahhhhh, there is nothing like thinking about waste management on vacation! Thanks to this student who just got back from Aruba with a tan and a dumpster photo.

Slideshow of Waste Receptacles Throughout the World

I take photos of garbage cans everywhere I go; this is a sideshow of some of them. From the informal to the formal solid waste sector, I am fascinated at how waste is managed all over the world. The human dimension of waste management is critical, and yet, unpredictable.
