ABSTRACT
Most people do not choose to spend time at active landfills. Livestock are not put out to pasture there, crops are not raised, game is not hunted, picnickers do not ward off ants, runners do not sweat, children do not gambol there. Cemeteries, schools, churches, hospitals, parks, housing developments, and libraries are not sited nearby (though landfills sometimes grow up near such facilities, much to the dismay of teachers, librarians, and homeowners, and many landfills are meant to become parks after they’re capped).
