Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Looks like a fancy new garbage bag to me.

Launch our garbage into space. Simple.

Or alternatively, build a chimney stack so high that the smoke and soot will exit the atmosphere when we burn it all.

And that bird appears to have eaten too much junk food.

[Carolina Husker]

Both of those sound extremely reasonable.

Superman IV!

About as reasonable as dumping all of it in the ocean.

There's no real great way to deal with pollution like this. Ever solution will have consequences. There's a reason the best solution to date has been to pile it up in big pits and then build over it.

Dumping it into space is just the next step.

[Carolina Husker]

A smokestack that leaves the atmosphere is neither reasonable nor feasible.

Dumping into space is to me a good idea at first. Then my morals kick in.

There's already a lot of crap around our orbit, but once you get past that the sheer unfathomable expanse of space makes putting trash there like one sandgrain on the beach.

But as far as the smoke stack, well they are trying this:

I keep forgetting - they should just launch it into the sun. Problem solved, that'll be one billion dollars, thank you.

As long as I get a 15% consulting fee.
