All the trash ends up in a garbage dump.
Rush Limbaugh correctly made the same point a few years ago. He's right and I care not a whit about separating my garbage into the trash container versus the recycling bin. It just goes into which is closest. Similarly, I water my lawn when I chose to. During the drought here, the fascists tried to enforce once-a-week watering. Since I do it late at night, they had no clue that I was watering my lush, green lawn frequently.
God commands us to "fill the earth and subdue it". For my part, I'll obey the Lord and couldn't care less what some goose-stepping bureaucrat tells me to do. The planet doesn't have many more years left before Christ's return so I'll subdue it as I see fit. Let freedom ring!
Not all.
An appalling amount winds up in the ocean. Having sailed between Hawaii and the US Mainland several times, I can tell you that a thousand miles off shore there is a huge concentration of trash in the water. It took us a week to sail through "The Garbage Patch" in 2012. Some of it is intentionally dumped in the sea, some of it just blows away from coastal cities and some of it is gear lost overboard from fishing boats. It was there before the Japan tsunami of 2011 but of course is worse now.
