I made this Quick Start Proposal for the pinup of November the 18th. It’s based on the idea of landfill mining. Landfills are full of useful materials such as cardboard that can be used as cellulose insulation, woody biomass used as compost, plastics that can be cracked into hydrocarbons for fuels and methane gas as a natural energy source. It’s all about closing the production cycle.
I started playing with the conceptual idea that you can pull out a new city, nest or community out of the ground. The idea of a self-sufficient community that uses the compost in the landfill to build vegetable gardens in Jamaica Bay, which also help to break storm surges, and uses landfillgas to heat itself. When using more and more materials from the landfill, the landscape will sink and make more room for the water.
