This disscussion has been a long topic for about 5,000 years! We have to deal with trash surrounding us when we go outdoors or even in the ocean. There are local dumps in a lot of countrys but we still dont throw away our trash. There are hills and heaps full of trash around the world and like I said before its getting in the ocean and killing animals cause they either eat the plastic or it can choke them. So by having landfills not near the ocean then it probably won't happen as much as it already does.
Basically every town has a garbage man, but where do they bring your trash? When landfills are in town and nearby they will take it there and the people there create a landfill full of trash to get rid of. They bury it into the ground with soil or sludge. But some companys get there landfill and put it in a nearby river or sometimes lakes and then that trash can flow to the ocean and kill more animlas. But did you know that in 2016 there was an estimated answer of 2.7 million metric tons of plastic waste in the ocean.
Many people belive that landfills are okay for the enviroment because it keeps the trash in one place rather than scattered. More cities, and towns are starting to add more trash cans to their public areas. Also adding dumpsters around the town like in allys would help too. But if there arnt lots of trash cans people will tend to litter, and thats why trash gets to the ocean.
If we keep littering our trash will hurt the earth and it wont be good. It would pollute the neighborhoods, down size property values, also it will destroy the city' s natural beauty. So basically it would kill the earth. So if we just throw away or trash rather than litter it would make our planet better, and landfills should not dump the trash into the ocean but also should not bury it in soil cause it pollutes the plants and could burn and explode even! Because trash contains methane gas and methane gas presents a hazard which can cause an explosion.

1. What do you think would happen if we stopped dumping our trash in unwanted places?
2. If we could not dump our landfill into the ocean what would be a good alternative?
3. Should the U.S ban littering and make more trash cans?

If we stopped duming our trash in unwanted places it would be a better place to live and less polution. I think we could come up with a better alternative plan to dump. If they made more trash cans then I think there would be less litering.
If we stopped dumping trash in unwanted places we would definetly see the enviornment improve. To make this happen we could simply use less trash. We are running out of places to dump so much garbage. Laws could slowly be created over time to switch buisness to more recyclable materials. Countries could even offer rewards for comapnties who do this.
I definitely think we should stop dumping our trash in unwanted places, I would help with the problem of pollution and so that the world doesn't become a giant landfill. I don't really think there is a good place to dump trash. I think it would be smart to ban littering, but unrealistic because there isn't a good way to inforce it.
I believe the world would be a better place if people stopped dumping their trash in unwanted places. I think we could send our trash into outter space. I definitely think the U.S. should ban littering and make more trash cans because that would make our planet cleaner.
I think if we stopped dumping our trash in the wrong place our earth would possibly be a better place to live. There would be less pollution and health would increase. Im not sure of a different solution.
I think that if we stopped dumping our trash in unwanted places the earth would possibly be a better place to live, there would probably be less pollution and health would increase because people aren't breathing in trash. I am not sure of an alternative that we could use but I think that if more people recycled it would help reduce the amount of trash that was being taken to the landfills.
I think if we stopped in unwanted places there would be a lot less polution, people and animals would probably be healtheir. I've seen some people turn trash into some cool things and I think thats what we should try and do more. I think we should ban it or at least make the fine bigger and yes I do think we should add more trash cans.
I think if we stopped we were have better sea food, less polluted oceans, less polluted air, healthier animals, healthier people, and so much more. I think we could come up with a better alternative then dumping trash in the ocean. I think littering should be banned and they should make more public trash cans.
I think if we didn't dump all of our trash in unwanted places we would have our house full of trash and it will just be nasty. Instead of dumping it into the ocean we need to be recycling all of it. I've seen people melt the metal into lava and with make there very own trash cans from it and put it around the world.
i think it wouldnt hcnage much if trash was kept in one place there would be and over ranged amount of it and then we would have to find more and more ways to git ride of it. some good alternatives are like recaling almost half the trash that goes into land fills and all the food thats wasted could go into firtalizer. if the us banned litteraing it wouldnt stop it from happaning it would just slow it down a little.
