Why don't we throw all our trash into a volcano?



Because historically, volcanos are thought to prefer high value offerings like live human beings


or golden rings of power


looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_eruption#:~:text=Ther... suggests that if a goal is to avoid eruptions, low-water content golden rings would be preferable to the bags of mostly water that are live human beings.

It's expensive to get the trucks there. Some toxic landfills like Florida don't even have any volcanoes: https://osm4wiki.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/wiki/wiki-osm.pl?proj...


I guess you can incinerate it and then use the byproduct to line the beaches since it might be cheaper than sand...


Even better, you can throw them into "electric volcanoes" to produce electricity (and sometimes heat) as a byproduct: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-burning-garb...
