    Bit of a side note to climate change, but I've always felt that all human waste/garbage/plastic should be granulated. In massive grinders. Turn everything into sand. Plastics can be used for roads, wood & paper burnt, food turned into fert. anything else can be buried. Should reduce the size of hole needed massively if granulated.

    • In that form it can wreak havoc in the oceans. It currently is already.monospaced
    • Well the idea is not to put the granules in the ocean innit!Hayzilla
    • Interesting idea but most of the plastics/garbage we generate aren't stable enough for that type of reprocessing.ben_
    • exactly to both points. plastic is not indefinitely recyclable. microplastic is ruining the ecosystem as it is being eaten and passed up the chainimbecile
    • nothing good comes from hydrocarbonsimbecile
    • They actually do grind up plastics and use them in roads in Scotland, Holland and Germany. Trouble is - what happens post-friction? More micro-plastic.Nairn
    • imho, waste post- post- consumer, no-longer recyclable plastic should be burnt for fuel or buried for future processingNairn
    • "nothing good comes from hydrocarbons" Your love of fixing up cars and motorbikes seems to defy that stance :)Nairn
    • my willingness to ignore the evils of my happiness doesn't make the repercussions of my actions any less impactful. I know gas is bad, i just don't care.imbecile
    • Ouch. Better fix up an old one than buy a Prius or Tesla though eh?MrT
