Coldplay: Rush of Blood to the Head
(Forgot the link the first time. Sorry - not enough blood in head.)
Hannah Ritchie of Our World in Data is amazing. Please subscribe to her Substack. Recent one:
How much space would we need to store the world’s plastic in landfills?
To store all of the world's plastic at depth, we'd need the space of a large city.
...Well-managed landfills are really important to stopping ocean plastics. ...
(Along the lines of "Plastics are awesome and trash is fine, except food waste" in Losing My Religions.)
Also: Global land area is around 150 million km2. A mid-estimate of our landfill area is 18,000 km2, which is 0.01% of this figure.
