In eons past, ancient forests fell and were gathered together and covered by
waters and with silt by the waters. As the ages passed, the silt became
stone, the waters abated, and new vegetation covered a new land. Finally, in
this new age, we've drilled down into those ancient forests and now pump
those trees into our autos. The same is happening at land fills, only
faster. Eventually there will be new forests, and some sentient being in
ages future will drill into them for God knows what. The dinosaurs had no
idea what would become of the fallen trees, and we have no idea what will
eventually become of the land fills.
