Landfills are not an ecological problem of note; they are arguably not a problem at all. The planet is full of empty space. As long as those landfills are being properly maintained (which, admittedly, is not always a given), then having big piles of trash in the middle of nowhere is not an interesting problem at our current scale of trash generation, nor any reasonable extrapolation of our current waste generation as a species. On the other hand, climate change is the ecological problem of note and wind turbines are a small but important part of fixing that problem.
