8. How exactly BlueSkye Foundation fights climate change?
BlueSkye Foundation builds large number of waste-to-energy power plants that are used to segregate two waste streams: contents of old dumpsites and new community waste in impacted communities. Part of these waste streams, e.g. metals, can be recycled and we enable our technology partners to do just that. Another part of these waste streams can be converted to energy by incinerating it in power plants using the best available sustainable technology. Last part is biomass that is separated from other waste as much as possible, so that harmful biogas emitted (mostly methane, which is extremely bad Climate gas) during its decomposition can be captured. This methane can be used to partly fuel the power plant or to be used in other applications by our technology partners.
9. What does BlueSkye Foundation do to the environment?
BlueSkye Foundation removes waste free of charge from communities that have no feasible means to do this by themselves. By emptying existing unmanaged waste dumps and landfills and handling any new community waste, the living environment of impacted communities can be restored to more healthy and habitable state.

Communities that are impacted by pollution and especially illegal dump sites and unmanaged land fills are often suffering from despeakable living conditions. Community members are forced to endure and raise children in uninhabitable conditions. BlueSkye Foundation assesses in close coordination with national and local government units and community leaders what social needs these impacted communites have. BlueSkye Foundation selects and agrees to provide necessary charitable services through suitable international or local Partners. These community healing services are free to all members of impacted community. These services can be Nordic standard schools, orphanages, family and woman shelters, livelihood centers for adult training and livelihood support, etc.
