Human's Trash

The trash we human's put in landfills is another step in the destruction of our planet. Not to mention the trash people dump in oceans and sink holes. Ultimately the gases will leak out, the fluids will leach out and into our soil and our ground water. We need to recycle and reuse to reduce our output of trash.

LANDFILLS: Hazardous to the Environment

Landfill liners are just 1/10 of an inch thick.

A quick summary of this article:

"All landfills will eventually fail and leak leachate into ground and surface water. Plastics are not inert. State-of-the-art plastic (HDPE) landfill liners (1/10 inch or 100 mils thick) and plastic pipes allow chemicals and gases to pass through their membranes, become brittle, swell, and breakdown."

 

Let's see what a landfill is like: most of us never will see or visit one.
