WQOW-TV Eau Claire, WI (10/20) reported that a group of Eau Claire middle school students are working to answer "a complicated question: Where will our garbage go in the future?" As part of the "three-month-long project," the students have visited a wastewater treatment plant and investigated potential locations for a new county landfill. "Working together, they'll look at how much our population's growing, how much trash everyone will produce in the future and possible places to put it." Dean Schultz, the "group leader and retired environmental engineer," said the goal of the project is "helping them relate to the real world." Schultz said, "The math and the science that they learn in school sometimes, as maybe you experienced, it's a little bit on the theoretical side. You kind of wonder, 'What good is this going to be to me?'"
