Tim, But the fraction of land needed to dump our wastes for the next 1000 years is tiny. I wouldn't call this one of our biggest environmental problems. The environmentalists don't seem to grasp the concept of cost / benefit. Every issue is a question of life and death. Joe

Our appetite is voracious and one of our biggest problem is trying figure out what to do with the leftover PCs, cars, vacuum cleaners, washers, toys, etc. Except for the very toxic part of our waste stream there is no major problem. Tim, PC monitors are so toxic that they don't know where they should be dumped and they are encouraging us to reuse/recycle them as much as possible. There are local problems when landfills fill up and no one wants a new one near them. But the fraction of land needed to dump our wastes for the next 1000 years is tiny. I wouldn't call this one of our biggest environmental problems. Tim, I am sorry but you are not well informed on this subject. Try telling some of our major cities the above comments and they would laugh in your face.....no joke. Finding landfill space is becoming a growing and serious problem for cities. Dealing with existing dumps is a major environmental issue. ted
