Whoa, I had no idea this was happening... we need to dispose of this somehow. Recycle the plastic and any other materials, burn everything else... not that there would be much to recycle as most of it you could probably melt down and reuse. This could be a major project, it would create jobs and give an ever-cynical and depressed world something idealistic to do.
Don't let the bastards grind you down OP. Life can seem bleak at times but people can and do do good things and the world is still a better place than it was a hundred years ago, even outwith Europe and North America standards are improving. While we have serious pollution problems people are slowly cottoning on and getting better, though we could be doing things faster. (Humans could always be doing things faster, politics and buisiness usually makes sure we don't.) We've never had it this good, even with the recession. Really.
EDIT: This would, in fact, make a good summer job. Ok, cleaning up waste isn't the most pleasant job, but knowing your making the environment a better place makes up for that.
