That's easy to answer - they'd dump their $hit (excuse me) garbage along every back road in the county as they do now all over Puna. For all the ranting about eco-ethics in Puna, why is it that you can't drive more than a few miles along Puna's back roads without tripping over derelict cars/TVs/garbage/etc?

Not so. Boulder Colorado is looking to be the first zero waste county. Although painfully slow, bans on plastic bags and now plastic water bottles point in the right direction. We are, as a nation, slowly waking up to the fact that we cannot keep consuming. Boulder is full of Eco- friendly yuppie hippies, so changing people's mindset about rubbish may have been easier there, but it's not impossible here. Yes there will always be people that abuse but most people here are good people.
