sounds like a typical American thing to do though. Why Don't we just dump them in the front lawn of the White House and make an artificial playground for all the politicians there. Make chairs and tables from all the rubber.

May as well make it a renewable resource for them to use up, rather thatn just burn them and pollute the enviroment.

Guess what . We have our share of idiots up here. Thats why we elect them into office, otherwise they would be on welfare or on the street. They decided it was ecologically unsafe to bury left over drywall so they came up with the brite idea to put it on barges and dump it into the Strait of Georgia. Hmmmmmm?

I think you're on the right track, but they should be placed around the Pentagon instead of the White House. They would be a good bunker for protection against the next cruise missle, er, plane scheduled for impact.

As dumb as it is,remember this was over 30 yrs ago when they tried this.We've learned alot in 30 yrs.Im just happy to see they are planning to clean it up.I like the white house idea
Something just as dumb was done here in Canada.Can't remember when it was,but it was a while back.Someone decided there was no reason Atlantic lobsters couldn't live in the Pacific.So with a big Government grant they got a few thousand lobsters and transported them to the other side of the country.After dumping them in the ocean,they realized the lobsters still had elastics around their claws.
