The biggest environmental issue about plastics is that it gets into the ocean and kills wildlife and gets into our food supply, but recycling doesn't fix that.

The biggest environmental issue about plastics is that it gets into the ocean and kills wildlife and gets into our food supply, but recycling doesn't fix that. So whats wrong with just burying it in ground where it will eventually turn into its original form after a million years? Last thing we should be doing is shipping our trash to other countries where there is a chance it is just disposed of in improper way and ends up in the ocean.
Recycling paper doesn't even make sense. Bury it in the ground, we should be increasing paper usage to encourage more tree farms which are great for wildlife. It also is literally capturing carbon and burying it.
