Jack with his fellow classmates are on a trip at the Fresh Kills landfill. The science teacher, Mr. Palmer wanted them to understand the affect a landfill has on the earth. Mr. Palmer escorted the students to the west side of the landfill, so they could get a better visual perspective of this enormous mountain of accumulated waste. Some of the smart students pulled their camera out to take pictures. Then Mr. Palmer said, "according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States has 3,091 active landfills and over 10,000 old municipal landfills."
