Passage of Time

The tragedy has overshadowed by the business of daily living.

 

In my hometown, Miyagi Japan, storage of combustible waste cased by tsunami has finished incinerating. The waste was approximately 10.46 million tons in only Miyagi. This figure is equivalent to 13 years of municipal solid waste in Miyagi. After the earthquake, the Miyagi prefecture created 29 temporary incineration facilities on the coast, to speed up the process. Ashes will be wind up in a landfill.
