To be skeptical that the Earth has a limited amount of space to dump our waste just doesn't make any sense- sooner or later we're going to have to come to terms with the fact that in the relatively small amount of time humans have been producing garbage we've filled up quite a bit of land with it. What happens when it runs out?
Outside of the other reasons, that one seems like a pretty basic concept to understand.

A landfill containing the next 1,000 years' worth of U.S. garbage would occupy less than one-tenth of one percent of the land available.

next time bring me some facts or just stay out because your posts are a waste of time. I'm trying to get an actual discussion going in this thread and your big blotches of text aren't helping at all. ;)
I have to go to work... Flayed or someone please come help this thread out.
