We should reduce pollutants to harmless chemicals before sending them into the oceans.
Years ago, when I lived in a beautiful old mansion on a beautiful river in a historic area, I had to replace my septic tank. The plumber told me that in olden times, the toilet waste was just piped untreated into the river and that the pipes were still in place, that he could re-connect them and save me the cost of replacing the septic tank. I was outraged at the very idea. I fired him and hired another plumber to replace the septic tank.
I have no sympathy for environmentalist whackos! I have had some extremely unpleasant dealings with them!
But I am a true environmentalist, as are most, maybe all, of the Freepers who post here on FR--and unlike the mentally ill whacko fools!
I am also a true liberal, as are most, maybe all, of the Freepers who post here on FR--and unlike the mentally ill fools who love to call themselves liberal but who in fact are the opposite.
I'm sure that you are a true environmentalist and a true liberal also, Boog. Otherwise you wouldn't be a Freeper--you'd be posting on...what's that site that's so left-wing nutcase...? I can't remember.
“I don’t know whether incineration would reduce it to harmless chemicals.”
There’s bound to be biproducts, but considering the advances we have made in “scrubber” technology for smokestacks, I bet it could be made pretty negligible.
