More and more I'm starting to think that people must be responsible for their entire trash output. Every thing you buy, from food to electronics to cars and even houses, you are responsible for: food scraps, packaging, recyclable materials, e-waste, old appliances, scrap vehicles, etc. You are are responsible for having near-zero footprint in your life, where this number should be universal for rich and poor alike. You must bear whatever effort or cost to live within this footprint. You must make choices to not acquire things that will become trash and you must take steps to ensure what you need to dispose of goes into proper channels. You will probably want collective solutions to minimize cost and maximize efficiency. You also need regulations to handle compliance and governments to ensure the fair application thereof. Yes, this is an expensive ideal, yet the opposite seems hard to justify morally. Current modern life is using fossil energy, natural resources, and land area on Earth to live a life of ease and deferred responsibility. Just because there is still space to make landfills and air/soil not yet saturated with pollutants, what right do we have to take it? The way this might be similar to CO2 "waste" is an exercise left to the reader.
