The energy is something very important in our daily life, we use it all day for a lot of things, for example, all of us have an electronic device, like cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc. Those devices need electricity to function. Since the creation of these in 1879 with the first bulb we got another general problem, we need more electricity for all the planet, because we can’t create electricity in a massive way. There is another problem, our way to create electricity also damages the environment for example nuclear plants which we can create electricity with it but still dangerous, expensive and might contaminate. How can we create more electricity without damage our environment? The sustainable energy comes in! But what is it? Is a way for us to create energy without contaminating, one example could be an aeolian plants, or the one that is our main theme, creating energy by using waste. It consist by bringing the garbage to a specific place where a claw moves it to an incinerator, where is obviously incinerated, in that way all the heat is used to evaporate water, the water generates vapor that is used to generate aeolian energy, finally the hot water is processed as heating for public places.

Obtaining energy through residuals, convince people to organize their waste in two types: inorganic and organic waste; this will help a lot and is not difficult at all, and convince people that this is the best way to generate energy because nowadays our planet needs our help. If everyone uses the waste to generate electricity as we mentioned before, we will have better results. We won’t have and excess of garbage on landfills, this will also prevent places near landfills from smelling bad, because there will be no excess of garbage stored. All the waste will also provide electricity for the city. Using this sustainable energy will safe electricity in cites where it is cold, because we could use the heating that is made during the process of energy retention through waste. Summarizing what we said this project will help a lot of people and of course our planet.

HOW WASTE TRANSFORMS TO ELECTRIC ENERGY
The opportunity to turn waste into a resource.

The waste-to-resource approach promotes a paradigm shift in the management of solid waste. Under this approach, rather than view waste as a problem, it is seen as a valuable resource, one that can be handled to produce sustainable benefits for a range of actors. The recovery of resources from wastewater facilities in the form of energy like reusable water and biosolids. These could be a financial benefit that contributes to the sustainability of water supply and sanitation systems of water companies. Resource recovery can transform sanitation from an expensive service to one that is self-sufficient and adds value to the economy. In fact, if financial returns can partially or fully cover O&M (Operations and Maintenance) costs, better wastewater management offers a dual-value proposition. Promoting this project could change the world, because in these days we have tons of problems due the waste produced around the world, also poor waste management makes climate change and air pollution, it directly affects many ecosystems and species, ways releases methane that is a very powerful greenhouse gas linked to climate change.
HOW WASTE TRANSFORMS TO ELECTRIC ENERGY
Transforming waste to energy 
Ellipse;
Where the trash is deposited?
Waste is dumped from garabage trucks into a large pit.
What is next?
A giant claw on a crane grabs waste and dumps it in a combustion chamber.
What do we do now?
The heat turns water into steam in boiler.
What happens with the blades?
The high-pressure steam turns the blades of a turbine generator to produce electricity.
What happens with pollutants?
An air pollution control system recollects pollutants from the combustion gas before or is released through a smoke stack.

Graphic explanation
They put the garbage in an especific place.
Then a giant claw takes the garbage to the incinerator.
Here the trash is deposited.
The heat produced it is used to boil water.
The vapor is used to generate aeolian energy.
And the boil water is used to keep warm some places.
