What I learned:
I learned that landfills are actually incredibly complex systems with more stakeholders and parts than I could fit on the mind map. They may seem very simple (just a bunch of trash being stuffed under some dirt) but there are serious impacts on economic oppertunities, local ecology, climate emisions, local government, local property value, groundwater contamination, and so many other effects.
I appreciate that you have highlighted the severe impacts of landfills on various aspects in the simple form of trash. I’m curious to know if you unearthed an interesting story or a hidden fact within any part/parts of these factors, and I think that would be a great entry point to continue digging deeper.
