Also I wanted to know what you meant in the OP when you suggested that "Landfills should be upgraded to bertter store Carbon." |
Another concept that has been lurking in my memory, is from some years, in the 1960's, I spent drinking it blue collar, fist-fighting bars. Some bulldozer operators told stories of working at landfills, and making piles of combusible, carbon materials. Boards, Furniture, Plastic products. The owners of the landfills felt they could make better use, and more profit, if they stored ashes, instead of boards. So at night, they would light off the pile of burnable items, and reverse the carbon sequestered materials back into CO2, as the combustibles burned at the Landfill.
So education is another upgrade for landfill operators, to recognize that burning wood, plastic and furniture at the landfill, defeats and important purpose of the landfill, to preserve the sequestered Carbon, and prevent the Carbon from going back to CO2.
