India has problems that make most of ours look like a day in the park.

Have to agree with you. Out of sight, out of mind syndrome. I never thought about it till I read the article. :tongue:

This might be how they're planning on reaching the moon!

At the current 33 feet per year growth rate it'll take them approximately 36,101,699 years.
They're patient. There were international trading empires being run from India when my ancestors were knapping flints somewhere in the woods where Lausanne is today. Give 'em time.

It's only a matter of time before the planet pukes humans off the surface.

Their wiring is a bit suspect also.

We shouldn't get to smug- There are plenty of "garbage mountains" in the western world that rival that.

Forgive me if I doubt that statement. The "plenty", the "garbage" and the "rival" parts, all three.
School me if you have any pics.

True. In RI, the major dump is the central landfill in the town of Johnston and is called Mt. Trashmore by the locals. It's been growing for at least 50 years, is currently adding about 4000 tons per day, and is now ~250' above its base and ~600' above sea level, making it the second highest point in RI. It will need FAA approval if it goes any higher.

Looks to me like a properly managed landfill with run-off control, covering of the trash, and methane management.
Nobody's getting "smug" about anything. If you can't see the difference between a landfill and a pile of unmanaged, uncontrolled garbage, then there's not a lot to go on with here. We've got a landfill here where I live; it's getting close to where you could have a picnic on it.
I will say, however, that the Rhode Island landfill would make as good a jumping-off point for the moon as the one in Dehli would! Which was the start of the joke ....

Beware the great garbage avalanche of 2505! There is a movement to reclassify the movie Ideocracy as a documentary.
