When Americans do not want an object anymore, they naturally throw the object away. America's trash system is beginning to be a more frequent topic of worried discussions. Chemicals and the amount of pollution are problems that are beginning to have a negative effect on the nation. The more trash thrown away, the more space America is going to have to find to throw this trash away at. The more trash Americans are disposing of, the more space is required to store this waste. This also leads to more pollution and toxic chemicals being released. Trash does not simply disappear, but trash instead takes up residence in the United States by a landfill, recycling plant, or an incinerator. Landfills are becoming tremendously harmful to our environment, and if this trash problem continue to escalate, landfills will have negative repercussions. Landfills are causing negative effects such as: occupying space, killing wildlife, tolling America, damaging earth, and polluting air; landfills are harmful, and Americans should be considering an alternative to landfills.
