The local problem
Pike County's landfill problem
These mountains are why the work matters, and where the waste was headed.
Pike County's landfill capacity is reaching its limit.
Pike County's landfill is receiving waste faster than its available space can support. Expanding disposal capacity is costly and does not address how much material is thrown away each day.
This is the kind of problem that inspired Future Forward, one that's local, measurable, and solvable with systems students can build and run.
