Module 04 Course Project - Rough Draft

The Problem Statement:

Overfill has been a serious problem with Michigan city waste facilities for the last decade. By some estimations, our city dumps are, on average, 40% above capacity—an unsanitary, unsafe, and unwise position for our city to be in.

Several methods have been proposed in order to combat this. Perhaps the most popular of these is the simplest: building two new landfills on the county outskirts. Others have proposed stronger recycling campaigns and larger per-bag waste disposal costs as a way to lessen the potential damage of our trash situation.

Michigan is close to drowning in trash. Action is needed if our city is to remain the clean, safe place to live it has always been.
