Environmentalists don’t want to waste natural resources, but they gladly waste mental resources. ‘What?!!’ you ask? Well, as long as land fills are government-owned, the vast mental resources of entrepreneurs isn’t available to solve waste disposal problems. Landfill owners can adjust costs for what the market can support, charge based on trash usage (pay-as-you-throw), and find ingenious ways to make money off the trash… hmmm… This leads to a disturbing thought. Is libertarianism the answer? Surely all the laws we’re passing to protect the environment are good. right? right?!!
