should'nt you look at the rubbish problem another way , Singapore should produce less garbage ( they say its an evolved country and rich), get rid not only of plastic bags , but all that paper and plastic things are sold in . Also get rid of the Singapore BUT syndrome (buy use throw) , try and repair , that goes from cars to everything in the home , and also homes , why knock down and rebuild all the time .
Try more and more ecological education , and tell people what will really happen in the future if they don't stop , use shock tactics. The biggest problem is its not government policy to reduce manufacturing or consumption , not good for the way they look at economics , and what would they use for landfill , Singapore is not renowned for being an ecological place , their ecology is surface deep..

Advantages of landfills include providing a convenient way to dispose of waste, generating methane for energy production, and potentially reclaiming land for other uses after closure. Disadvantages include emitting greenhouse gases, potential groundwater contamination, and the need for long-term monitoring and maintenance.
Sanitary landfills can pose several disadvantages, including environmental concerns such as soil and groundwater contamination from leachate, which can release harmful substances. They also contribute to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, during the decomposition of organic waste. Additionally, landfills require significant land space, which can lead to habitat destruction and reduced biodiversity. Lastly, the long-term management and monitoring of landfills can impose ongoing costs and responsibilities on communities.
