Here they recycle trash by using it to produce power. I'm not sure if it's cost effective, but it does reduce the waste stream! Plastic is a growing problem, that needs to be addressed. Either by regrinding and reusing it, or by converting it back to fuel (which looks promising); but I Hate to see it in the wild! We all need to pick it up when we see it for useful disposal.

I do understand about the third world problems. It damn hard to worry about trash, when your kids are hungry! That's a very serious problem, that needs serious attention...they need real help! One solution would be to purchase this trash, for a living wage; to be recycled once collected.
