• well, i dunno the landfill space but i do know this:
  
  after hurricane Katrina, the only things that seemed to have survived were thousands of plastic bags. They were everywhere, in trees, in the water, and pretty much everywhere else because the whole place was flooded with water. my friend, some website on google. sorry, nothin specific. just something to think about.
