in some places plastic straws are baned. as are styrofoam cups.
but why do we as a country not burn most of out household garbage?
1: reduces the total fill for the dumps.
2: the burners can turn salt water to steam to turn turbines. almost free eletricy here.
3: water condences to "drinkable" water.
4: volume ? some metals might be had. ( help cover the cost of the burner rebuild).
5: other?
