The solutions to the garbage problem exist and has existed for decades. The problem is that the government doesnt want to do anything about it.

@@johnjill4355 A solution implies a permanent fix, which there is none for the garbage problem. Bandages to the problem certainly need to be applied to mitigate the rate of growth at which trash is produced annually. Both parties the Consumer (people who buy goods) & Producers (people who make them) need to heavily participate in limiting the amount of plastic used in their daily life. That's one step towards being proactive, but there is certainly no shortage of obstacles to overcome this trash.

Here's some ideas to eliminate waste. I've researched the global waste problem and its depressing but shouldn't exist. some solutions exist and could be really good toward solving this problem. Humans need to realize Earth isn't a bottomless pit to be consumed and destroyed but rather our life support system. Some Ideas I created (not an environmental expert or scientist some may be good others not so much): 1. Lasers. Extremely hot and could vaporize waste 2. Nuclear Fusion Reactors. Also extremely hot, waste could be put in containers, a vacuum chamber could equalize pressure and they could be dumped into the plasma (Tokamak design) 3. Underground nuclear/thermobaric/napalm explosions- large pits could be dug, filled with waste, capped and explosion could vaporize it? 4. Lightning rods- lighting turns beach sand into glass, perhaps piling waste around a big one could destroy it? 5. Solar Tower- concentrated sunlight from a tower mirror or satellite could vaporize waste? 6. Collision Vaporization- A 1982 Sandia Laboratory experiment (USA) involved a plane being thrown via rocket into a concrete wall at 700 mph, was atomized on impact. Maybe putting waste into a cone-shaped capsule and colliding it at really high speeds could do the same thing? 7. Suborbital Rocket capsule reentry- A metal container shot into space via rocket, balloon/rocket or plane/rocket could reenter the atmosphere (preferably over remote areas) and burn up, taking waste with it? 8. Deep borehole disposal- Soviet Union dug the Kola Superdeep Borehole, maybe more (bigger diameter) could be made for waste? 9. Acids- some are very strong and can dissolve metals, maybe waste could de dissolved? Meanwhile while waiting for solutions, current disposal methods could be improved. 10. Container storage- plastic/metal canisters could be stored in giant yards, eliminating need for landfills and ground pollution 11. Tank farms- similar to oil terminals, giant metal tanks could allow leachate to be stored and methane collected/burned for energy. 12. Tunnel container storage- Similar to Onkalo Finland nuclear waste repository, waste could be stored in containers inside tunnels under mountains/belowground, temporary storage? 13. Better toxic/nuclear waste barell- metal/plastic/concrete, longer-lasting? 14. Better nuclear waste fuel rod container- Lead/boron inside, metal/concrete/plastic outer layer, longer lasting? I'm ashamed we created this mess and it needs to be cleaned up ASAP or we might be in trouble. I think this problem can be solved along with others on this Planet if we use Critical Thinking.

So If you burn it can cause trash in the air and means trash air.

Taken your own storage for some product's to the store might not be a bad idea. An deliver product's into the buyers storage less trash.

Charlie Ennis I don’t know if it’s possible but what if they would put all that gas though filters and stuff I don’t know 🤔 collect gas in tanks and shoot it out to space ... ahh hoping for best
