#MaineDEP says expansion of state’s largest landfill would benefit public
The decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which takes in 52% of the state's waste.
by Penelope Overton
October 2, 2024
"Despite objections from neighbors and environmental groups, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection concluded Wednesday that expanding the state’s largest landfill, Juniper Ridge, would substantially benefit the public.
It’s not an outright approval, but the department’s decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned Juniper Ridge Landfill, which takes in 52% of the state’s waste. The state claims this expansion would extend the facility’s operating life by 11 years; without it, it would run out of space by 2028.
"DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim’s decision can be appealed to the Board of Environmental Protection and the Maine courts, and several opponents of the proposed expansion, like the Boston-based #ConservationLawFoundation , say they are prepared to challenge the decision.
"'This decision recklessly gambles with public health and the environment,' said #AlexandraStPierre, the director of communities and toxics in the foundation’s #EnvironmentalJustice Program. 'It dismisses the serious concerns raised by the #PenobscotNation and other nearby residents about the harmful effects this expansion will have on their health and community.'
"She continued: 'We refuse to allow this dangerous expansion to proceed unchecked.'
"The foundation and other opponents say the #OldTown location of the facility unfairly places the burden of the state’s trash needs on the Penobscot Nation. The #leachate that #JuniperRidge produces when it rains is sent to a nearby paper mill sewer plant that discharges into the #PenobscotRiver.
[...]
"The amount of waste heading to Maine landfills has increased 34% between 2018 and 2022, according to DEP. #Sludge that was once spread on #agricultural fields is now landfilled due to forever chemical #contamination [#PFAS]. The amount of municipal solid waste landfilled during that time jumped 47%.
"While some people say Maine is not doing enough to divert waste from the #landfills – for example, a bill that would have required large #FoodWaste generators to #recycle their #scraps at a nearby facility died on the appropriations table – others object to #Casella as the facility operator.
"Casella clashed with some municipal leaders and state lawmakers when it refused to accept the #biosolids created by wastewater treatment plants at Juniper Ridge out of fear that the mushy slop, or sludge, was causing structural instability that could lead to the landfill’s collapse."

Another small #upcycling project: I turned a children's clothes hanger into a hanger for kitchen towels by screwing some wooden beads in matching colours into it. Perfect for the office or other spaces where attaching things to the wall isn't an option. #diy #reducewaste
I like using #tags for #plants in my flat & #garden but find that wooden ones rot too fast. Nonpermant markers on #plastic tags also aren't an option because they wash off in no time. So I decided to print & laminate paper labels that I can then attach to my plastic tags with photo stickers. Long-lasting & easy to replace if necessary. I got the photo stickers from a German drugstore whose logo you see in the pictures -- but they aren't paying me for advertising. ;-) #DIY #reuse #reducewaste

I love this idea of having a ‘plant second chance box’ to reduce waste! I’ve managed to rescue a few near dead plants that others have over-watered or neglected, so I fancy my chances.
I think these folks are UK delivery only, but others may do similar schemes

@Curator nice idea!
1) What do you create?
Lots! Mainly, I give trashed materials (paper, textile, yarn) new life as drawings, books, greeting cards, collage, crochet..
2) What's your preferred medium?
For drawing, ballpoint pen. Dirt cheap and available everywhere.
3) Someone that influenced your style?
All the amazing people showing up for the #aalborgsketching events i organize in my local town.
4) What's the most important thing for you to convey with your work?
#reducewaste
Are you being deceived by greenwashing?
Really good Tom Hardy article exploring how companies are deceiving the public through greenwashing tactics and how to spot them.

*I've been waiting many years for the #RightToRepair legislation to be added in Canada!*
On March 28, the #Canadian government’s budget announcement introduced a plan to implement a “right to repair” for electronic devices and home appliances in 2024, alongside a new 5 yr #TaxCredit worth $4.5 billion for Canadian #CleanTech manufacturers. The federal government will begin consultations on the plan in the summer.
