The Battle Hymn of Garbage
Mine eyes have seen the garbage
That’s a smoldering on the grate
We must stop incineration
Before it is too late
Unless we wish the dangers
We had better separate
And we must do it now!

About 4 X more energy saved by reusing, recycling and composting the various components in the discard stream – than burning them to create electricity
