How about we take all trash the toxic waste on the planet and just rocket it off into the sun? Problems solved no?

No. Have any idea how much it costs to launch a rocket? It costs thousands of dollars per pound to launch shit into space. Think about that. To remove just one pound of trash/toxic waste, is several thousand dollars.

Imagine just sending an average garbage truck worth of trash into space. A rough calculation would give you about 12 million. That's 3 tons at 2000 a pound. That is a VERY generous estimate. Googling tells me the average dump truck holds almost 5 times that much. But I figured to illustrate the point I'd go with extremely conservative numbers. The average price per pound is also a lot higher than 2000.

In all honesty, to deal with the waste we have, it would probably be cheaper to figure out teleportation and just teleport that shit into the sun.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.

It really is a glimpse into our inner workings when the topic of littering crosses over that boundary into flinging shit into outer space like the atmosphere was a big car window.  We really are the universe's white trash trailor park, us earthlings..

It brings to mind that argument of maybe the reason we haven't made contact with extraterrestrial life yet is because they don't want shit to do with us..

I bet you anything aliens rocket their trash into the nearest Sun. Seems like a great option. You can probably get around the cost eventually, and even at millions of dollars there's probably some stuff we'd rather see out of our atmosphere making the cost worth it.

In all seriousness, things need to be fixed at a sociatal level. I wondered  when I was younger, seeing litter, how everything isn't just drowning in refuse. No one will take responsibility. The room fills with water and we keepmsaying 'after you' for eternity until something goes bad. I couldn't imagine being a seancreature. One moment swimming, then bang, plastic for thousands of miles. What fucking satanic shit.
You should be shot on sight if you litter. People who smoke cigarettes especially. You hit it and say'fuck me, my life doesn't matter' then toss it on the ground and spit in everyone's face. I walk over hundreds of cigs a day.

Fuck smokers. Take their filters away, kill them faster if possible. It's hard to really care about someone who does that.

For perspective, my gramma died a slow lung cancer two pack a day death. I am OK with tobacco, but cigarettes as we know them are a fast food like comodety that people suck down like candy, then discard. It's the mark of a truly deeply flawed person.

i've only seen pictures of that shit in Asiatic countries.


on a brighter note, i just read a few days ago that the 19 year old that hatched a plan to clean the world's oceans is having his plan put into action. his plan will be implemented in 2016

We should just build a giant orbiting space station to live on and use the planet for industry and a land fill.

Sea turtles will be extinct in no time. The sea turtle swallows plastic and becomes impacted because it thinks the plastic is jelly fish.

It's a huge vortex of floating refuse in the Pacific Ocean
