The U.S. differs from other developed nations in its reliance on landfills. In a world challenged by climate change and a growing quantity of waste, a proactive approach to waste management is needed. This talk will describe U.S. resistance to waste-to-energy and highlight how greenhouse gas modeling suggests a need for change. 

The webinar centers on sustainability issues regarding sources, storage and distribution of energy. Featured speakers include SUNY Distinguished faculty and a Nobel Laureate.
