Guest Quotes:

“ You drive past a conventional landfill and all that you're seeing is grass and some monitoring infrastructure, and it's a pretty bleak environment. Whereas the ET capping systems we're seeing at the environment now are proper ecosystems. In Australia, we've got kangaroos living on these capping systems. They're raising their young on them. We're seeing a return of predatory native birds. The reestablishment of ecosystems. It's a wonderful reuse of this otherwise bland and hostile environment.”
