| What happens when a tire is no Ionger usabIe? Where does it go? Join Into the Outdoors Adventure Team as we investigate sustainable solutions for scrap tires. Every year over 300 million tires are discarded in the US. ln the past, they were thrown into landfilIs or dumped iIlegaIIy. That's a lot of waste! But today there are many ways scrap tires can be reused or recycIed. The ITO Adventure Team traveIs to Michigan, CoIorado and Minnesota to Iearn how scrap tire disposal is being managed. We learn why ilIegal dumping is hazardous to human heaIth and the environment. In Minnesota, we Iearn about Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA). lt's durabIe, light-weight, permeable, and can be used in a variety of engineering and construction applications. lt prevents frost heaving, soIves sinking soiI issues, and can even be used to heIp cIean storm-water contaminants. In Michigan and CoIorado, we discover severaI other products made from scrap tires. Tires can be shredded into different sizes for use as landscaping, moIded products, road coverings, and more. lt can also be processed into Tire-Derived Fuel, which provides even higher BTUs than coal. Sometimes environmental issues feel like mountains, but with creative ideas and working together, we can make a difference! If we can find sustainabIe solutions for a materiaI Iike tires... what other environmentaI solutions can we come up with?! |
