With all due respect, I would like to see links, ref"s to back up your statement below.
As we as a species continue to overpopulate our every growing waste stream has 2 aspects to be dealt with. Volume(landfills) and toxicity(ecological disaster).
We do not have the resources to clean up the recognized Superfund sites. Best we don"t make anymore in my opinion.
