"Screw it, shooting it out into space is easier."
Your stashes of old batteries and cases of unused paint cannot be incinerated or buried since doing either ejects toxic plagues into the air and land. And those “green” CFL bulbs that contain mercury, can’t be easily dropped off at any old Home Depot thanks to Home "Foreclosure" Depot going out of business.
Oh, and the black obelisks, the ominous, omnipotent beings that rule our universe (last seen co-starring in “2001, A Space Odyssey”) are none too pleased about it. They are threatening to turn us back into apes.
