America needs more space to dispose garbage. To us, garbage is nothing, and we need to find ways to get rid of it. Landfills are filling up, and we are resulting to littering. In Oslo, the problem is exactly the opposite. Oslo is running low on garbage, and they need more in order to keep the small town running. Garbage is burnt to be used for gas, electricity for homes and schools, and to power up many things. So now, while America is rushing to get rid of the excess of garbage that we can't seem to dispose of, Oslo is running low on it. Oslo has found a good way to get rid of garbage while being productive, and now they might just not be able to keep it running.
The fact that Oslo is running low on garbage is a little weird. First of all, I live in a big country where we are running out of places to put waste, and yet there is a place on the other side of us that is running out of trash. The landfills here are filling up, but the landfills over there are almost empty. Why don't we just donate our trash to Oslo? In no time, Oslo would be able to keep running for ages, and we will be rid of our landfill problem. That would be a pretty good solution to both our problems. And then the littering here would stop (mostly) because the landfills wouldn't be that full anymore. Why hasn't anyone thought of that?
If there are some questions I would ever want to ask, I definitely have one now. Doesn't burning trash cause pollution? I remember seeing a show where the families would have to burn their trash. The fact that they were burning the trash was causing air pollution. If it does cause pollution, then I would get why America would not want to be giving trash to Oslo. I hope it does not cause pollution, because then Oslo would have to find another way to make electricity. And soon, Oslo might be over filling their landfills as well.
