Since the pigs were slaughtered, civilians in Egypt have been looking for other alternatives. Few families started to recycle waste. Moreover, Thomas Culhane, presented the idea of turning organic waste into alternative energy in Garbage City, in east Cairo's Manshiet Nasser slums. He runs Solar Cities to develop and design technologies to solve local problems. His funds to install solar panels to produce hot water for families in Garbage City come from a grant from the US Agency for International Devolpment. Gargabe City is place where thousands of trash collectors reside, also known as zabaleen, who are Coptic Christians. Culhane's idea was accepted and spread to Muslim areas of Darb al-Ahmar, promoting Culhane and Hanna Fathy, who is a Manshiet Nasser resident involved as well.

Comment: Due to the increase in garbage waste in the streets, Cairo did need an alternative to dispose organic waste since the pigs were terminated. Thomas Culhane's idea presents a possible solution to this problem. This will decrease favorable conditions to many diseases, including the swine flu.
