- bagacrap 7y agoYeah but you don't get invited on an international book tour for obvious ideas like that.
- gizmo 7y agoContrary to public perception, landfills are the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of most types of garbage. The challenge is to get the garbage to the landfill.
- hanniabu 7y agoThis also assumes that the landfill is properly prepared. An unlined pit leaching chemicals into underground wells isn't that great.
