I wonder how many otherwise servicable items have been
landfilled. Automobiles, shavers, toasters, and maybe the
occasional tommy gun from the prohibition era. Some states
like Arizona are dry enough that the landfills are still
pristine, if some what dessicated.

I think it is a common fallacy that biodegradable plastic
bags actually
degrade in a landfill. It is my understanding that the
anerobic nature of
most modern landfills creates conditions where organics
simply do not
biodegrade and the result is that the plastic bag, paper
plates and
hamburger will still be there 1000's of years from now.



The archaeologists are gonna have a lot of fun with us. Some
have already started digging up 20th century landfills.
