Doc sent him for X-rays, but he was allowed home after four hours of scans and is expected to have suffered no ill-effects.

Ethiopia opens plant to turn waste into energy

Named Reppie, the facility is the first of its kind in Africa, according to the government and the British company Cambridge Industries behind the project, and will turn 1,400 tons of waste per day into energy. Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome said at the ceremony that the country "has been investing extensively in hydro power, geothermal, wind energy and now biomass to boost the manufacturing sector with a supply of clean, renewable energy." Reppie is located beside a massive dump called Koshe, a slang word for "dirt" in the country's main Amharic language. There for over 40 years, Koshe serves as the main rubbish tip in Ethiopia's capital which has a rapidly rising population, currently at more than four million people. A huge landslide killed more than 110 people in March 2017, which scavengers blame … [Read more...] about Ethiopia opens plant to turn waste into energy
