Kind of an out there statement, but I've long wondered when we would resort to "mining" landfills, since it would be a close and plentiful supply of glass, aluminum, steel, and plastic.

I thought about mining pollution with solar powered air filters and such when I was a kid. A long time ago. I probably read this and assumed it was an original thought of my own with my weak memory and developing ego.
