Trash to energy plants. Not a perfect solution, but sure helps.
Helps in reducing trash but compared to conventional plants they're
expensive to run, especially if they also have to be clean.

It may be more costly, but with more built they can eventually engineer some
cost out or improve efficiency. At some point we will no longer have the
luxury of digging holes and burying trash. Or it will be very costly to
ship the trash to holes a long way away. Remember the NYC garbage barge?



It will be a very long time before we run out out room for trash dumps.
They really are very small in comparison to other land uses. For example
how big is the average NFL stadium or MLB park. You could pack a lot of
garbage and trash in one. No one complains about a football or baseball
stadium. I wonder why that is?

I do agree about the packaging though. I have a hole in my hand from
where the knife slipped when I was trying to open a plastic package. It
still hurts.
