Beautiful Day for Trash Burning

 This is the building we pulled up to on our company visit to Biogás Ambiental, a company that burns organic material and trash to collect methane, which is then burned to turn a turbine to get high grade electricity, which supplies power to about 400,000 people in São Paulo. 
 The mist was rolling over the top of this hill, which is actually layers of trash to burn. We all thought it would be more pungent, but surprisingly enough you could still smell the forest that surrounds this area (maybe we were just upwind).
