Eudes Girard • La carte comme modèle de perception du monde. | Geomatic | Scoop.it

Se demander ce qui peut relever de l’approche et de la pensée cartographique dans l’expression visuelle, qu’elle soit photographique ou cinématographique, définit ainsi le principal axe de recherche, assez audacieux, qu’entreprend Teresa Castro. Après avoir défini dans un premier chapitre ce que l’on appelle communément une carte et mit en place la notion de pensée ou de raison cartographique Teresa Castro explore les liens, que l’on pourrait qualifier de subliminaux, si l’on veut rester dans le registre de l’image, qui relient prise de vue d’une part et pensée cartographique d’autre part, à travers la pratique des panoramas, des vues aériennes, et des atlas.

For Mexico City, a Repurposed Landfill

Methane from a landfill will flow to a power plant, helping to keep the lights on in the city.

 

When Mexico City’s government shut down the giant Bordo Poniente landfill last December, officials announced that they had a full-blown plan for the site...the city aims to capture the methane gas produced by the landfill to fuel a power plant that could supply electricity to as many as 35,000 homes.

This idea seems awesome for the country of Mexico. Being able to change a landfill and converting it to energy to supply homes is awesome for any economy. 35,000 homes is a large amount, many families will be better off.

The innovative steps being taken by Mexico in this situation greatly surprises me. For an underdeveloped country like Mexico, this plan can likely bring cheap electricity to a greater part of the population. Using waste is a great alternative to fossil fuels which are non-renewable and harmful to the environment. Not only do I think this is a great idea, I think America and other countries should mimic their efforts. This is unlikely because it will put the big electric companies out of business...
