Landfill vs Incineration

              Which is better, landfills or incineration? I have been wondering about this question. Incineration and landfills both have pros and cons. How is incineration good? Well incineration turns the trash to ashes, therefore they burn the trash.Incineration woks by having the trash dumped in a trash bunker, which is a pro, then they burn it, this can be good and bad, good because the trash goes away but at the same time it is also bad because as it burns the trash it creates air pollution. incineration can be done quickly and the trash and waste is disposed of easily. Incineration has some cons too, as I have mentioned before it causes pollution by burning the trash it causes pollution. It also can cause pollution in the building of it, they have to put so much effort and it takes such a long time just to build something that burns trash. It also takes up lots of land.

            Meanwhile landfills also have pros and cons, one pro is that when the trash is compacted it creates a sort of gas which can be used to create energy, but at the other hand it also can create pollution which is a con. Another pro is that it does not take a lot of space.Also it can be buried and on top  of the landfill  can be a natural park, which is another pro! There are so cons, it takes a long time to build, and it uses lots of trucks which causes air pollution.
            I think that Landfills are better than Incineration because landfills cause less pollution and also take up  no space. En-top of the landfill can be a national park or a park and leisure place!
