Raymond Ferrara brought his students to visit the county incinerator in Peekskill, where they were able to see the trash transform into steam to then create electricity, according to a press release.
“During this trip, the students saw firsthand that ‘there is no away,’ which has been an overarching theme throughout our curriculum this year,” Ferrara said in a press release. “This facility receives all of Westchester’s municipal waste and burns it to create steam, which is used to turn a turbine and create electricity.”
Students had the opportunity to see the turbine up close. “It was truly a powerful experience,” Ferrara said in a press release.
