They all add up to a monumental headache for many communities across the country. How can we get rid of all the waste affluent America produces? Each year this nation produces 7 r Questions'? To whom is the Bible addressed? Everyone? sol- id wastes weighing 250 billion pounds. That would make a mountain a city-blowide and 50 miles high. Each one of us throws out 5.3 pounds of solid waste a day or 2,000 pounds a year. What's more, that amount will triple in 10 years. Compounding the problem is a Who speaks in the Bible? God or man, or both? ck shortage of laborers willing to work garbage routes, reduced land-fi- ll areas for dumping, and our awareness of the hazards of pollution. Obviously such a crisis needs a solution, and some of the proposed solutions are revolutionary. For instance, the U.S. Public Health Service has awarded several grants to study the transportation of refuse and other solid wastes by rail from cities to abandoned strip mines and other lands in need of reclamation. The PHS is also looking into the possibilities of pumping liquefied garbage through a pipeline from Chicago "to make marginal Illinois lands productive for agriculture without hazard to human health." There are machines which can compress raw garbage into small solid blocks 115 the original size. Industrial designers like Jerome Gould are working to create a glass bottle that melts when broken. Otiier scientists are exploring the possibilities of formulating paper cartons that will dissolve in water and edible materials that can be used to package food and then fed to the household pets. Hut probably the most bizarre research is in finding ways to refine garbage and extract nutrients from it. The seemingly exotic, comic-stri- p solutions to trash disposal have become imperative now. Cities such as Philadelphia have already signed contracts to have solid wastes railroaded to distant empty mines. A Japanese scientist. Dr. Kunitoshi Tezuka, has gone one step further by inventing a combination compacting and coating machine to overcome the bacterial problem. After he compresses the garbage into cubes, they are dipped What in asphalt or concrete, making them immune to decomposition. Other techniques being proposed are burning the garbage at sea in a specially designed incinerator ship and dumping the residue overboard. Nonreturnable bottles and plastics are the biggest headaches of the sanitary engineers. "Plastics," said a study by the Karman Center of Aero Corporation in California, "are completely immune to biological decomposition. If we bury them, they remain almost indefinitely in their original state. If we burn them, they contribute hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen (dangerous air pollutants) to our atmosphere." So plastics have been formulated that will decay within two or three years in sunlight. Research in the "evaporating" glass bottles is accelerating. Dr. Samuel F. Hulbert of Clemson University in South Carolina says he has a bottle that will behave just like glass until it is broken. Then it will become soft and greasy and eventually melt away. What about refuse being useful again? Dr. Byron Miller of Colorado University is researching the biological conversion of animal wastes into useful nutrients. Science is also struggling with the problem of reclaiming base metals from old autos, tv sets, refrigerators, and other massive nonfood trash. But whatever solution is found, whether it be bizarre or banal, something must be done soon. Former President Johnson emphasized the urgency of the situation when he said, "Rachel Carson once wrote, 'In biological history, no organism has survived long if its environment became in some way unfit for it, but no organism before man has deliberately pplluted its own environment.'
