Landfills

I was very surprised on the first day of stats class- to discover that we would also be learning about garbage! I was also intrigued. I have always wanted to learn about our system of dealing with trash, but I must confess, it was never at the top of my priority list. It seems there must be better ways to deal with our trash. The use of landfills and such do not seem to be working so well for our country.

The information the author disclosed in the last chapter regarding landfills was disheartening. It gave me a small glimpse of the "bigger picture" and how decisions are made regarding our trash. I am looking forward to learning more about our garbage and how we can perhaps affect our own footprint.
