Nothing is being buried in the ground that is recycleable. At least not while anyone is watching.
And throughout all of this I’ve noticed one thing you haven’t mentioned at all. I suspect (don’t know) that you refuse to believe in the effects of burning fossil fuels on the climate crisis.
For those who don’t pay attention to this stuff, there is a carbon cycle on the Earth’s surface. Living stuff grows, matures, dies, decomposes, which releases CO2, which feeds all the living plants, that ‘exhale’ oxygen to keep all the animals alive, until they die and release that carbon again. It all goes 'round and 'round. Everything is in balance. Even early humankind, cutting down trees for fuel, didn’t really disturb that cycle much, just sped it up in places.
Then the Industrial Revolution happened, which led to digging up eons-old carbon to be burned in today’s atmosphere. Relentlessly. Ever-increasingly. For centuries. And suddenly (in relative terms) we had a whole lot more CO2 in the atmosphere than ever before, and it absorbs more heat than the other atmospheric gases. So the weather heats up on average and becomes more volatile. And the oceans heat up and become more acidic. (Which is why half the Great Barrier Reef is dead.)
WE did this. Even the oil companies have stopped lying about it. (In part because some internal documents have shown up that prove they’ve known it’s been us using their products that have been the issue all along.)
So WE need to stop it. It won’t happen on its own.
Is that “big picture” enough for you?
And why the [bleep] do I find myself battling climate disinformation on a hearing aid forum?
