What If We Sunk Our Trash in the Mariana Trench?
This sanitation company disposes of its waste by dumping it into the Amazon river. And unfortunately, they're not the only ones. All over the world, people are treating bodies of water like they are giant garbage dumps. And experts say that continuing these practices will result in catastrophic damage to marine life. But what if we're just not dumping our trash in water that's deep enough? What if we dumped our trash down in the deepest part of the ocean? Would the immense pressure down there act as a natural trash compactor? How would all that garbage affect the rest of the ocean?
