Take it outside the environment.

- cucumber3732842 3mo agoThe only winning move is to pay for an academic lab to crank out enough papers that the government can agree with your lobbyists and declare your preferred dumping ground "not the environment" while retaining plausible deniability.
- amiga386 3mo agoNothing's out there! Well there must be something out there. There is nothing out there - all there is is sea and birds and fish. And? And 20,000 tons of crude oil. And what else? And fire. And anything else? And the part of the ship that the front fell off.

- gadders 3mo agoShoot it into space.
- inigyou 3mo agoThe environment can handle dead fish. We just don't want it doing that near the humans because it's smelly. Dumping fermented fish wouldn't be like dumping crude oil.
- Waterluvian 3mo agoThe "environment" can handle basically anything given the right conditions and timescale. It's very much 'the dose makes the poison' here, too (eg. how stormwater ponds help protect watersheds from road salt runoff, but often themselves become far too saline to sustain the same ecosystem as the watershed). So while you're not wrong, none of what you commented really means anything. It's a broad assertion without any foundation of context.

- inigyou 3mo agoCertain types of pollution. If it biodegrades and less than a million tonnes are being dumped in total, dilution probably works. This is the case here. However you still don't want it anywhere near human settlements because it stinks
