Garbage (S10E19)
S10E19
Historically, Japan has been celebrated for its pristine environment, but in recent times, waste management has become a pressing challenge. Unlike many nations that dump trash directly into landfills, Japan typically incinerates its waste due to limited land availability. However, the capacity of existing landfills is dwindling, prompting the need for innovative solutions. In his journey to uncover sustainable practices, Peter Barakan visits a remarkably aesthetic incineration facility, crafted by the famed artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, showcasing a different approach to waste disposal.
