The children’s author, Shel Silverstein, wrote a poem about a little girl named Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who wouldn’t take the garbage out, and the consequences of her inaction. The governor and the state Legislature should all get a copy of the poem.
The state of Connecticut has developed five trash-to-energy plants, the largest being the one in Hartford. It handles one-third of all the trash disposed of in Connecticut. That plant was originally a coal-fired electric generating plant. It was converted to a trash-to-energy plant over 40 years ago to generate electricity by burning trash instead of coal. The plant incinerates trash that is not recyclable, landfills the ash and does so in an environmentally sensitive manner. The plant was recently inoperative due to many mechanical problems and needs to be updated.
