Brazil isn't exactly a 3rd world country, but thank you for your input. A great example or using our resources more effectively.

I asked about the feasibility of recycling plants because I can recall seeing piles of trash (plastics, paper, cans, food, etc) in Indonesia all over the place. Even right next to some of the local shrines. Locals may reuse/recycle some items but it looked like most of their trash when into these piles that were often burned at some point in time. The thick black smoke billowing off of these smoldering trash heaps was disgusting and can't be great for the peopl e or the environment.
