MIRA was developed to take the original infrastructure of town dumps and create regional solid waste capacity while creating waste derived bio-energy. The MIRA is a service that creates energy and finds useful ways to re-use solid waste. They turn a profit by selling the energy they create as well as the materials they produce, all from the solid waste we create. The title of this story is "Change without Radical Change" as Roger Guzowski coined this phrase through his feeling that change is crucial, but in doses that people can accept, and the MIRA is a shining example of this theme.
