I know that it's people in general, but:
I have a left-leaning person that lives next to me, who is in to the climate and all that shit. We have 96 gallon trash cans provided as part of city services. I usually fill mine once a month, month and a half and I just put it out sometimes because the garbage is rotting in it. The person next to me puts theirs out every week, overflowing. What is a single person doing to make that much trash, especially one who claims to respect the planet?
Garbage should be incinerated using furnaces that generate electrical power, and have stack scrubbers to remove particulates from the air. The increased CO2 generated would benefit the ecosystem and would also help sustain larger crop yields. All that waste plastic that chokes our landfills and our oceans should be burned.
Used to have one of those here, the NIMBYs bitched and it was only in use for a few years.
