Don't Throw your Trash in my Backyard!!

It's started up again...New York City is dumping it's trash into Pennsylvania. Now don't get me wrong, they do have an agreement of dumping their trash into Pennsylvanians landfills, but they are getting full. Pa has a good system of utilizing the methane gas to run the landfills systems, but only certain trash is usable. Therefore New York City needs to start enforcing people to recycle, by offering jobs and uses for the recycled material, and by creating less packaging for their products, which would result in less trash. Right now Pa is having to either create more landfills or expand the existing ones already. That means it'll take away from the beauty the farm lands and the forests of Pa.

Pennsylvania isn't the only state feeling the impact of the trash, there are others such as Virginia and Michigan. I think the governors need to keep the trash in their own states and utilize the methane gas like Pa is doing. Maybe if the methane gas has more of a purpose, then more states would consider creating it for themselves.

And who really wants to live next to a landfill?
