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.

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.

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.
Graphic explanation
FLOW CHART EXPLANATION
The first step to convert waste to energy is that all the waste recollected is dumped the waste into a pit. Then a crane picks up the waste and dumps it into a combustion chamber. The next step is the waste is burned, generating heat. The heat is turned the water in the attached boiler into steam. Finally the high pressure steam forces a turbine to spin, producing electricity.
WAYS TO IMPLEMENT PROCESS IN YOUR CITY
AS A CITIZEN, HOW I COULD HELP YHE ENVIRONMENT?
Ways to implement the process in your city. To improve our city, it is necessary to save energy, Take care of green spaces such as public places that implies that it gives a very bad image to leave garbage in crowded places, Use cloth bags instead of plastic, also insist in reducing products that cannot be stopped consuming. One option for this is, for example, to reduce the amount of packaged goods and replace them with goods that can be bought in bulk by reusing packaging. If people contribute to that and realize what they are causing we could make a huge change. case is the garbage of the rivers, there are inventions of technology that this invention cleans 100% dirty water and its garbage, products such as bottles, bags, boxes etc. there are options such as Glass bottles can be used at home, as a container to store other products, and this is how we can improve our city of Culiacán, Sinaloa.

AS A CITIZEN, HOW I COULD HELP YHE ENVIRONMENT?
As a citizen I could help the environment by not throwing trash in public places, parks, museums, etc. Try to separate the trash in 2 types (organic & inorganic). Doing this I can help the environment, but a person is not enough to help the environment, we need a lot of people to help with this project. Also an easy way to help the environment os avoiding the use of plastic bags in markets, instead of suing those you could use a cloth bag. If you are an adult convince and teach your children about sustainable lifestyles, once they are aware, they will spread awareness around them and eventually, the entire society will be enlightened.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?...
Did you know that China is the country that generates more garbage in the world? If you think it is logic, because China is the country with more population from all the world, so the amount of garbage is a lot, so imagine if China implement the method that we explained about converting the garbage into electricity, it would help even in the contamination, because they would need less electric plants, so it would decrease the contamination. Also it would be cheaper, and easy because they have a lot of technology, and they have a lot of garbage.
