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.
