しんぶん: Turning Trash into Forest in Tokyo

私はよくしんぶんをよみます。"あさひしんぶん"は日本のしんぶん (Asahi Shimbun)。Webサイトは　http://www.asahi.com/english/ です。

今日、私はその "article" をよみました。とてもおもしろいです。

Like any highly modernized, developed city, Tokyo residents accumulate a lot of trash - a heap of discarded food, broken appliances, unneeded clothing, parts, etc. - that goes to a landfill outside of the city. However, an architect, Tadao Ando, is setting up a greening project to turn a giant landfill on Tokyo Bay with 12.3 tons of trash into a FOREST.

This seems like such a good idea. Hopefully this initiative will gain popularity around the world!
