I feel like it’s important to mention two things. One, processing this waste has more benefits than burying it.

Two, the planting trees thing or even the protecting already growing trees thing sounds nice. But what’s happening in actuality is they are clearing areas that are mostly swamp land and arguably more efficient and better for the environment due to having better ability to process greenhouse gasses, and planting trees there. The tree protection racket literally involves buying land that already has trees on it and saying they’re protecting those trees from being cut down when in actuality those trees were never under threat of being cut down at all.

This context is an important part of this conversation.

Games are entertainment. I wouldn’t argue that MS Office is entertainment.
