Thirty plus years ago I started up incinerators that, due to their design, were virtually pollution free. I’m sure the technology has improved since then. Fears of incinerators polluting are invalid.
Millions of I-told-you-sos in there.
Way back when the Miami garbage truck drop off was next to Jackson Memorial Hospital .It was burned to heat the water for the hospital .
Guess that kind of logic is verboten today.
Recycling has NEVER been profitable. It has been a money maker for the private companies who are paid by municipalities to recycle. The bales and containers of recycled material always end up in the landfill. China used to take recycles but they no longer do. It is simply not cost effective. Construction and reef materials are about the only use for these items. Paper cost double the cost of making new paper and is loaded with toxins. Plastics can be compressed into wood materials but it is not a cheap process. The quality of the material, if done properly, outlasts wood but cost twice as much. Sealed landfills provide a chemical soup for future reclamation.
Floating debris masses in the ocean provide highly effective habitat for fish and crustacea. They can remain at sea for years nurturing generations of fish,before finally making landfall where they can then act as habitat for plants. The oceans remain the most effective means of disposing waste.
Since it seems only America gets the climate change and pollution and whatnot lectures.....
Why not stop importing millions of people?
In fact, let’s export people to the third world that uses so much less resources. All greenies first in line out the door.
