  • With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn’t see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.

    I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.

    Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these “middens” like squirrels and octopi.

    If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it’s a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.

    Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.








  • I personally think it will take a complete shift in human mentality. One that will only come about via artistic movements, whether that be music, painting, film, or even propaganda posters.

    IMO, art is the most important factor for bring about such a massive cultural shift. Kind of like how art in the Renaissance caused people to view life more scientifically and logically instead of based purely of faith.

    Similarly, art from the the hippie movement in the 70s promoted peace and love instead of competitiveness, war and destruction.
