Apocalypse scenarios make interesting science fiction but this greenie creed - that people are evil and the planet is better off without us - is an idea more evil than Hitler ever envisaged.
You're such an idiot.

I call BS. Where did you generae all this waste? I imagine pretty much all waste is caused by what you originally bought in the supermarket.
Empty packaging (outgoing) has less volume than full packaging (incoming) and should take up far less space, resulting in a plastic bag surplus.
I suspect you are lying to try and emphasise a point that isn't otherwise relevant.
It's bin day at my house and it got me thinking, if people are recycling the way they should be (at least in melbourne) you should be using bugger all bin liners anyway, I just put ou a big wheelie packed full of recycling (a fortnights worth) and just two bags (weekly) of landfill waste. I reckon it'd be a roughly 70/30 split on recycling and landfill waste.

Id say a a fair bit of your recycling is not going to be recycled.
In what way? I'm talking bottles, cans, paper/cardboard, plastics with the right recycle symbol on it - that's a large portion of my refuse.
Cans and the right types of bottles are easy recyclables but plastics are still being hand sorted. Imagine sorting through rubbish looking for a symbol with a number in it, cant imagine its a profitable exercise especially when food contamination is a major problem in trying to recycle most things. The plastic packaging that is made in Oz is correctly labelled for identifying the type of plastic but any from overseas is not.
But now we are starting to buy millions of the green bags every year. Whats going to happen in ten or more years when we lose them or they get holes in them and throw them out? At least the new batch (the last 18months) of plastic bags break down in land fill with in 12 months
but you my friend are a self professed disciple of malthusSo, the problem is littering, not plastic bags. I use all of my plastic bags as bin liners. There is nothing inherent in specific-purpose rubbish bags which would prevent them also becoming a litter problem.
