Vestas unveils solution to end landfill disposal for wind turbine blades
Landfill is not the enemy!Holey schmoley. The environmentalists have become obsessed with "keeping stuff out of landfill".  "Keeping stuff out of landfill" has become the primary goal of many environmental movements.There is nothing wrong with stuff going into landfill. In fact in many cases, putting things in landfill is the ideal outcome.Obsessively trying to keep stuff out of landfill leads to unintended consequences that are much worse for the environment than putting it in landfill.Consider waste plastics.  People go crazy with the idea that waste plastic ends up in landfill, so they become obsessed with "recycling".  But it's simply impossible to recycle the vast ocean of plastic waste.So what they are doing now is putting plastic waste into PLASTIC ROADS, and calling this "recycling".And then cars and trucks grind microplastics out of the plastic roads and into the water, air, land, food, animals and people.  The plastic would have been much more safe in a landfill, where its toxic effects are constrained ot the area of the landfill.  But hey "at least the plastics aren't in landfill, right?".Every time you hear about the plastic waste issue it always comes with someone fretting about "keeping it out of landfill", like landfill is our most precious land that must not contaminated with waste plastic.  It's just wrong.Put waste plastic in landfill, stop pretending we can "recycle" an ocean of waste plastic into stuff.The entire environmental movement is focused on mopping when it should be turning off the tap.
