The current system punishes communities which make the investment in creating landfills, only to have them filled by states which refuse to adequately address their waste issues.
Well, I don’t think I’ve ever consciously come up with tricks and tools to, kind of, hide. I do think I’m a bit more vigilant, in terms of safety issues and things. And sometimes it is kind of nice to try to hold onto your anonymity.
