one thing my fellow environmental educators tried to instill in our students when evaluation their lives is this deep question:
when you throw something away, where is away?
the answer - away doesn't exist, it has to go somewhere, usually a landfill
SO what happens if we run out of landfill space?
anyone?
you might be thinking, crazy jessica and her rabble rousing, we have plenty o'space for landfills and if we run out of room on Earth, what else is the moon for?
well guess what, it is already starting to happen.
