Beijing Uses Deodorants To Sweeten Foul Smelling Dumps

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Beijing is using water cannons to fire smell-busting liquid on its worst-offending landfill sites. Because of the upcoming warmer weather in China’s capital, it caused garbage to rot even faster and leads to a nasty stench in some parts of the city. In one suburban area, workers filled 100 high-pressure hoses with liquid deodorant in order to lessen the awful smell. However, tactic appears to be having mixed results. Some of the local residents complain about the smell. It is still so bad that they are waking up coughing at night. Even they are soundly asleep, they can wake up coughing. Everyone opens their windows in the summer. The deodorant cannons are the inspiration of the Gao’antun Garbage Landfill Plant. After a dousing from the spray, which is made from plant extracts, the garbage is then covered with odor-eating sheets. A machine is also use to extract the gasses from the garbage and later on use them to generate electricity. This process reduces the pollution at the landfill to the lowest level.

Posted on April 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

The Prime Minister of Thailand didn’t expect the strong violence of the protesters who used weapons towards authority. On the national television, Prime Minister Abhisit Bejjajiva made an admission a day after he rejected the call from an anti-government protesters who hopes to dissolve the country’s parliament in 30 days. Abhisit mentioned that the political opinions should be taken into consideration before any action is taken. With an estimated two dozen civilians and military personnel died since the protesters began occupying key tourism spot and shopping areas in Thailand’s capital. The demand from Thai’s anti-government protesters, known as the “Red Shirts,” was one of the strongest list issued since the group began to storm in parliament early April and that the PM declared it as a state of emergency. Red Shirt leaders offered Friday to return the negotiating table only if the government will meet their demands which includes the lifting of a state of emergency and accepting responsibilty for the deaths of protesters earlier this month.
