The trench is actually a pretty good place to put garbage as it's a subduction zone so stuff there gets pulled down to the mantle and ejected through pacific rim volcanoes.

It sounds like you know more about this than I do but one of my pet peeves is humans trashing the oceans. Most of it comes from 3rd world countries that use their rivers and streams as dumpsters so it all flows out into the oceans then get around the necks of sea life or in their bellies causing death. I can't stand litter and it's even worse in the oceans. Forget climate change; that's a load of crap. Killing off species such as wild elephants and polluting the oceans is what we really need to worry about. Well; there's the over population problem but I think we're screwed (pun intended) on that one. The planet has doubled its population in under a 100 years. Another doubling will kill it by choking off land for nature. The only thing that can save us at that point is a drastic reduction in population from war, famine, or disease. Nature has a way of resetting itself if need be. I think a major reset is coming one way or the other.

Look out friend you have swallowed some Leftist propaganda!

The world’s population may have doubled in the last 100 years but the worlds food supply has also phenomenally increased while (in the USA) used less total acreage.

And there is no reason to believe that this rise in farming efficiency will not continue.

And if the trend toward the expansion of economic freedom in the world continues the decline in birthrates will follow. Wealth is a huge determining factor in lowering birthrates. High birthrates have a high correlation to poverty.
