This document discusses the need for future "trash engineers" to solve the unsustainable practice of throwing all human trash into landfills. It notes that humans produce over 2.6 billion pounds of trash annually, and landfilling is not a long-term solution. Future trash engineers could turn trash into clean gas or use it to construct buildings, showing the potential for endless possibilities in reusing waste. The job would require strong STEM skills, mental flexibility to think outside the box and see solutions, and critical thinking to analyze situations and consider multiple solutions.
