We actually do a fair amount of this in the US. Marion County in Oregon burns 90% of their trash. It's much better than landfills, anyways.

- gruez 3y agoHow is burning better than landfilling it? If the landfill is lined the garbage isn't going anywhere, and leaving the plastic in the ground is much better than releasing its co2 into the atmosphere. Land use might be an issue in some places, but I doubt that's the case in Oregon.
- parineum 3y ago> Land use might be an issue in some places It really isn't the land that's the problem, there is absolutely plenty of land to support the entire earth's population of trash in landfills. Just like with food, the problem is moving it to the places you want it to be.
