Chapter 1:
This is the first I've heard of the Puente Hills landfill in L.A. I'm not from California I moved here from Alaska and I looked it up on google image and the image below is the Landfill. I never realized how much trash one person can throw away. Some of us think that it's okay to throw a piece of gum wrapper away, thinking it wont do us any harm, however it is. It's adding to what is building into a mountain full of trash and polluting our air, we just don't realize it. What I thought was interesting was how people think that putting clean dirt makes the garbage sanitary. Wouldn't you think that all that does is add to the mess?All it does is bury the trash thinking it'll cover up the stench. Hello!? It's still there the garbage isn't going anywhere! It also amazed me how archeologists saw the trash as a master piece than a crises. I mean no matter what or who you are you're human and the trash is dangerous to us. While I read, I kept passing by the question "where do we put the trash now?". Reading it over and over in the book wasn't the annoying part, I was annoyed that until now we still haven't found a solution to where to put the trash. Throwing it over the canyons wont do any good for us thats just hurting the place we live in. It has gotten me more aware of trash and as I read I  think what should I do with my trash so that it doesn't pile with the rest? burn it? no...that pollutes the air and there is no where to put the ashes. Put it in water to dissolve?  but not everything can. These are just thoughts that can maybe one day help our Trash problem.
