Just looking in my trash can, there's a lot of plastic and paper in there. The banana peel looking up at me didn't require much fossil fuel to grow, but it did need a substantial amount to transport it up here to Minnesota from the Caribbean.
Garbage isn't an energy source because we use up more energy to manufacture the products that then become that garbage :banghead:
