"Thank you! ReClaim units can be adjusted based on the size and type of landfill, local weather, and rules to keep them affordable and easy to use everywhere. This way, the system works well in many different places without costing too much."

"This is an incredibly holistic approach Kruthi.
I like how you’re not just stopping methane but also creating new value streams like renewable fuels, carbon-negative bricks, and carbon credits. It’s the kind of circular solution that cities really…"

"Thank you for the suggestion! Considering cost effectiveness is crucial, especially for scaling in developing regions, to ensure the solution is both affordable and sustainable."

"This is a really thoughtful concept, I love how it highlights collaboration, and it feels fresh and practical. And also including ways to ensure to keep students consistently motivated to contribute, not just at the start."

"Thank you !!"

"I like how ReClaim combines methane capture, leachate treatment, and brick production. Maybe also consider cost-effectiveness for scaling in developing regions."

"This is such a cool and well-thought-out idea! I love how you explained the science in a way that feels practical and real, and the ReClaim units sound like a game-changing solution for turning landfill waste into clean energy and useful materials."

"Thank you !!"

"A brilliant, science-powered vision! Transforming trash into clean air, safe water, and carbon-negative bricks feels like the future we desperately need."

"Controlling landfill methane reduces the greenhouse gas quickly, slowing the global warming without causing sudden drop in temperature. Because methane stays in the atmosphere for about a decade, cutting its emissions has a fast and positive effect…"

"Controlling the methane from landfills is definitely the fastest way to reduce global warming? but are there any disadvantages from losing so much methane from the atmosphere? like a sudden drop in temperature?"

"Thank you! The process uses catalysts to convert methane into syngas through a controlled chemical reaction, which is more complex than a car’s catalytic converter but shares the basic principle of speeding up reactions safely. This allows methane…"

"Amazing idea, especially with with syngas converting methane to biofuels using catalyst. How exactly would the mechanism work? Would it be similar to catalytic converters found in the exhausts of cars?"

"Thank you! The durability of microbes, membranes, and sensors is a known challenge, but proven engineering methods and careful material selection can help ensure they perform well in landfill conditions. Continuous monitoring and maintenance will be…"

"Bold idea. I’m curious how the microbes, membranes and sensors hold up in the messy reality of a landfill. If that’s solved, it’s a go-to."

"Thank you! While the technical and regulatory challenges are significant, the long term environmental and economic benefits make this effort worthwhile. With careful planning, the project can unlock multiple revenue streams and deliver real climate…"
