@sundogplanets can we point the chemtrails conspiracy crazies at this problem?

@sundogplanets the problem is bad, but the article is good.

@sundogplanets We burn garbage [pollute the air] ditch it or bury it in the ground [pollute the land] or dump it in the chuck [pollute the oceans]

The last frontier - dumping garbage in space!

Pre-teen me reading my Above & Beyond encyclopedia set and watching the Gemini & Apollo launches never foresaw us filling space with trash.

But here we are...

@sundogplanets I want our eternal celestial view back. Nobody h as the right to take that away from us... but they do!
