Speaking of which, I just heard about a company in Asheville, NC consisting of retired scientists and engineers who volunteer their time to solve various environmental problems. One example is harvesting fly ash from a nearby coal plant, mixing it with pig manure to create an odorless building material as hard or harder than concrete at a cost of $38/ton. Comparing that to the cost of disposing of the ash, they are working to turn a significant expense into a several million dollar profit....all while reducing waste in landfills.
