Landfills aren’t everywhere.

Landfills aren’t everywhere.
- nikisweeting 5y agoWhy not not focus on building more and better landfills then? Seems like a better solution that shipping trash long distances to other countries only to have it end up in the ocean.
- CheezeIt 5y agoWe don’t ship our “trash”, distinguished from our recycling, to other countries.
- nikisweeting 5y agoNah, the vast majority is trash to begin with or ends up as trash. Only a fraction ends up recycled.
- CheezeIt 5y agoPlastic bags don’t go in the recycling, they go in the trash bin.
- nikisweeting 5y agoIt's not a matter of any one thing, the vast majority of "recycling" is trash to begin with, or ends as trash without being recycled.
- CheezeIt 5y agoThat’s the goal. You want them to end up as trash. It’s not cost effective to recycle it, and if it were, that would lower costs and create more pollution.
