Hauling trash 30 miles to a landfill instead of burning it and adding it to the garden is not a hard choice.

To put this in perspective, lots of old farm machinery has wood attached. Scrap yards do no pay for wood so we burn it off. Since I heat my home and shop with wood, it does not seem any different.

I feel the same as burning plastic. #2 fuel oil has similar properties. Now I don't sit around and burn plastic for fun, but I don't freak out about it.

The plastic grocery bags make great fire starters.

My wife forgets to leave the lid off the water bottles before trashing them.
Closed plastic bottles explode. Bonfireworks.

Burning bamboo has the sound effect of a string of black cats too.
