Force your local community to build clean waste burning power plants instead of commissioning new landfills and recycle what can be reprocessed locally. Additionally put a tax on each bag of trash to encourage recycling and ban private burning of trash.
Pass a law that requires all vendors of electronics to take back any e waste which then goes to recycling.
Also pass a law that food plastic packaging can be disposed of at the supermaket for free.

- greeneggs 6y agoA landfill sequesters the carbon. Burning the plastic puts it into the atmosphere. That's a bad idea. If the problem is that "recycling" programs don't always recycle, then just landfill it all. Problem solved.
