I doubt that this article is well-documented even though I agree with him to an extent. There is no way that a liter plasitc bottle is only 30% lighter than a liter glass bottle. I also doubt the stats concerning land fill areas. When even little ole Columbus, Georgia has a vast ex-fill area covered by a new public golf course one must consider that more and more space is indeed required. New dumps are always controversial due to neighbors not wanting trucks passing with garbage blowing out.

People certainly don't want dumps near them, thus every single new dump will be fought tooth-and-nail legally, the point is there's no shortage of space whatsoever for dumps, which is absolutely true.
There's immense amounts of open space in this country and dumps will never, ever, make the slightest dent in it.
