The article which Andrew posted was from
http://www.centerforcarbonremoval.org/blog/2015/9/7/reduce-recycle-and-clean-up-what-waste-management-can-teach-us-about-controlling-carbon-emissions
and my previous comment was posted there briefly last weekend but all
comments have now been removed.
Posted this morning in response:
You accept without question the status quo approach to “trash”:
"1) reduce waste production,
2) recycle as much of the remaining waste as possible, and
3) remove the rest in sealed landfills that protect the environment from
the consequences of this pollution."
