The reason we don’t see Don Burke on TV

From The Lazy Gardener by Don Burke:

Plastic supermarket bags are not an environmental problem. Environment groups were misleading when they said these bags were killing many sea creatures, etc. In landfill in Australia they also are not a problem. They don’t break down rapidly, but neither does anything else as the systems are sealed to prevent runoff of leachates (toxic stuff).

Great Christmas present.
