What If We Sunk Our Trash in the Mariana Trench?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
This sanitation company disposes of its waste by dumping it into the Amazon river. And unfortunately, they're not the only ones. All over the world, people are treating bodies of water like they are giant garbage dumps. And experts say that continuing these practices will result in catastrophic damage to marine life. But what if we're just not dumping our trash in water that's deep enough? What if we dumped our trash down in the deepest part of the ocean? Would the immense pressure down there act as a natural trash compactor? How would all that garbage affect the rest of the ocean?

It seems that the more we -advance- the more setbacks we create for ourselves. Back in the day household waste didn-t have so much plastic. It-s because we are constantly looking for convenience like grocery shopping for instance.
Instead of visiting small businesses with a basket to buy our produce we go to supermarkets where everything is wrapped in plastic. We buy ready meals packaged in plastic instead because it-s more convenient.
Here in the UK, I remember getting our milk delivered in the mornings from local dairies and the empty glass bottles were returned to be reused. Sadly it-s become another product we purchase at the supermarket and the containers are now plastic and not glass because it-s cheaper.
Because we desire more exotic foods from abroad we ingest food pumped full of chemicals to order them to ripen on schedule. Because we demand a certain standard and amount of meat we pump the cattle full of hormones to grow faster. The meat industry, in order to cater to our ever growing demands, raise cattle in huge numbers affecting methane production and destroying natural habitats of many indigenous species of creatures, even diving some towards extinction.
If we returned to eating locally sourced produce we could instantly reduce the amount of plastic wrap and chemicals as well as help local small businesses prosper, but modern mindsets wouldn-t allow such a -backward- lifestyle. Especially if the local food produce is limited in variety. Sadly we-ve become too greedy, selfish and demanding for the planet.

Well its easy really. All our Trash comes directly from Nature (what? you didnt know? you thought it falls to Earth from another Dimension? yeah no! its all nature, even if we change it, the main ingredients are always taken from nature itself and given enough time, nature will -recycle- them on its own) so nature itself wouldnt really care at all. Sure, some fish might die but others might rejoice at the plenty of materials we dump down there (our trash is a FEAST for some Animals.
Of course we could forget Recycling any of that stuff because once its down the Trench its gonna be tough getting it back.
All in all, the risks and costs involved would probably make this a very inefficient -solution-. Also, most of the Trash would not even reach the deeps and float above Water, probably ruining some Tourists day and cause -green world saving activists- to have a heart attack. which would probably be the best thing about it but sadly its still not worth it.

This is really just horrible. We-re ruining nature, making species go extinct, and taking away our futures. Nobody even CARES anymore and it-s very upsetting. They-re trying to use facts as an excuse to dump all of our disgusting waste into clean nature. No matter WHERE you put it, it-s going to harm SOMETHING.
And NO, global warming is NOT -just an expensive little hoax-! It-s REAL! And it-s the reason why we won-t MAKE it another 30 years if we don-t try and stop this. We are the cause of all this. We can stop it. We need to.

Doesnt matter what we do now. Microplastics are in every complex lifeform on the planet, from birds, humans, sharks and even weird ingodly creatures that lurk in the depths of the mariana trench. We all ahow signs of microplastic build up in our bodies.
This plastic is thought to affecting our brains, organs and could even be responsible for a massive spike in infertile men and possibly birth rates dropping.
It'll take centuries to clear naturally. We've poisoned our planet.

reply

Microplastic, microplastic and other pollutions everywhere. It would be in our clouds, our rainwater, our fresh water, and the amount in our bodies would double ten fold. It would kill marine life, birds, land animals, plants, and most definitely us.
Our water is already impacted by microplastic, few places are free from human damage. This would make it so that our trash touches the entire world, and no one would ever be fully clean from it.

I get utterly disgusted when I see videos about idiots dumping garbage in the water. I hate to see it so much that I rather turn my eyes away. Seriously, what is their problem? Won't we all benefit to use more reasonable ways - and to heal this place rather than litter our world like that?
Ugh, yuck, argh!
EDIT: I'd like to grab a big hosepipe and wash this type of folks in the same waters they dump their trash in >=(

reply

How the ever loving f-ck could anyone even CONSIDER this for a split second. Are you insane? Plastics break down into the ocean, getting into the ocean's water and killing off sections of the ecosystem which would have catastrophic results including our land ecosystem. NO. STOP POLLUTING PERIOD. In fact, we should focus on getting RID OF PLASTIC, not finding a new deep crack to shove it all into! Unbelievable

Not sure about the pressure issue. The pressure around everyday items would be equalized in most cases only things like water bottles or cans that were unopened would 'crunch' into a ball or the like. An empty can sent into the trench that is open, will just stay as it is when it hits bottom, the pressure inside the can and all around it, will be equal. There may be -some- torsion but it won't compact it.

Y se crea una wspecie de contenedor gigante o contenedores que soporten esa precion y mantengan la basura plantada ahi sin que se filtre al oceano y dentro de l acaja poner agentes descomponedores como insectos o diversos animales que cumplen esta funcion o poantas o alguna sustancia quimica ayudada por la presion asi al cabo d eun tiempo esta basura se consumiria
reply

Stop polluting the ocean what should you do with your trash throw it in your backyard if you have one I throw my crack in the backyard hey at least I clean my backyard once in awhile but I never fridge freshener in there I-m not from pollution in my house UwU stop polluting plsss someone please clean all the trash and throw it somewhere?
reply

China are the worst at this! 78% of all fresh water in China is to pouted for human consumption & while the rest of the would are trying to cut down on emissions, China is building new Coal plants and only this year 2020 China has built more new coal plants then the rest of the world combined have coal plants.
reply

People that do this do this need to be jailed and I'm in jail for five years this is just environmental vandalism on a grand scale even if they are Third World people or from the Amazon they need to be put in jail I mean what part of that doesn't tell you that it's wrong
reply

Theres better solutions to garbage than dumping it somewhere. We really are the worst species ever created. We are the only things on the planet which are not eco friendly. Even animals poop nourishes the ground but we just destroy, destroy, destroy.
reply

Shame on you! I am going to tell my father in heaven and on earth what is happening! In fact HE IS WATCHING RIGHT N OW! Believe it or not! How dare you even allow this to happen to HIS EARTH! For sure this earth WILL BE DESTROYED!
reply

Now you know why, They are vaccinating the world to get rid of as much human garbage as possible which is probably a good thing I've got no problems with the vaccinations and more people I get rid of the better
reply

Search for ''The Marmara Sea'' and see, what is only the start of what we cause to the nature. Too bad we are expecting Armageddon in some holy way but what we will end us and all other living things around us.
reply

They don't have any other way to get rid of the trash.
They should use drones to carry it to a landfill.
Almost 100% of ocean garbage comes from poor countries with no sanitation department.

reply

I have a crazy idea! - What if oneday in the future human have very advance technology and bring all the trash to the sun to let sun burn all the trash, so that our ocean can be clean. -
reply

if we were to hypothetically fill up all the space with trash I feel like it would push up all the water out of the trench and then raise the water levels like crazy
reply

Yea we will all drown to your idea but I'd prefer to through it to the space because ya'know it's called space so it must have infinite space to dumbed those trashes
reply

4 minutes and 53 seconds only to tell us no because it would effect the sea life with plastic chemicals, hence effecting us if we ate them? -
Well then-

reply

We never talk about trash/waste on the political stage. What real solutions are there to at least reducing the amount of trash/waste we produce?
reply

i told ya were animals i cant even consider looking my self in the mirror like a human on the outside but were just animals on the inside
reply

Waste management will be the biggest environmental challenge of the 21st century, way more in my opinion than sacrosanct - climate change-.
reply

What if if we buried all waste under large barren land, there are some me dry barren lands when people don't go or very rare footfall
reply

What if they did what many developed countries do with their waste and burn the waste for electricity and construction materials?
reply

Burn the trash in a confined space like the combustion chamber and use that energy it creates for something else mabe power it.
reply

If they dump trash in the ocean, why don-t we just dump them there to see how it feels, and also give them the polluted water to them
reply

I just watched another video about the Mariana trench, I wouldn't mind if they completely filled it with garbage or even concrete.
