A proper landfill is a set aside, contained area, that has systems in place for things like managing pollutants from leaking into the water table, keeping people and animals away from it so as to not infect or injure themselves, monitoring and mitigating the temperature and emmissions of the landfill, etc.
They aren’t all so advanced or well staffed, but a whole lot of landfills are, and they are better for the environment and human and animal populations than just letting trash pile up everywhere, willy nilly.
They obviously are not perfect, but they are certainly better than nothing.
EDIT:
… Where do you think all the mangled fishing nets and what not that environmentalists fish out of the sea… end up?
Do… they just throw them back into the ocean?
Or maybe a contained and secure hazardous waste site?
You clearly have no clue about how waste disposal and managent works then, maybe learn some of the basics before publically embarassing yourself next time.
As the saying goes:
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
You’re being extremely hostile for no real reason. I’m allowed to be amused that two concepts that are similar to me are distinct in your head. You have zero reason to be offended right now, but you’ve decided to take up arms and be an ass.
I’d suggest you wait a day until your panties are no longer in a bunch and reread the actual words and see if you still feel butthurt. Then I’d suggest you spend some time thinking through why something completely innocuous and generally positive made you so upset. It will probably make you a better person and is cheaper than therapy.
Sometimes I wonder if people are too scared of misinformation and quick to “correct” any perceived misunderstandings without stopping to think perhaps those comments were not made in ignorance deliberate, or otherwise.
I don’t agree with your comments bashing people for arguing that landfills don’t necessarily work better than any other piece of land. There is a genuine case to be made that what you describe is idealistic and reality might be more bleak. these perfect landfills might as well be as sophisticated as the perfect “clean coal” plant or even a “carbon credit” plant that billionaires use to launder their wealth.
With the kind of corruption I have seen in government across the world I think you’re naive thinking advanced tech works really well in a system known for corruption and inneficiency.
Lol at “landfill” being different from “dumped into nature” in your brain

Your explanation doesn’t make me less amused but is interesting

Its hard to have a discussion.
