		colechristensen on Oct 24, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Much US “recycling” goes straight to the landfill The reason why “fake news” caught on so well is that so much of the news is indeed actually bullshit. Usually shocking sounding things which are half true at best. I bet you could come up with a statistic that says the landfills will be full. I also bet that this is a problem which will be solved in it’s time. Local man has no idea what he’s going to have for lunch next Saturday! …so?

We’ve had 10-20 years of landfill space ever since I can remember- certainly more than 20 years ago.

Guess what! Nobody builds a landfill for the fun of it, so they wait until they need one.
