"The Arctic’s thawing ground is releasing a shocking amount of dangerous gases
This “abrupt thaw” affects 5 percent of Arctic permafrost, but it could double the amount of warming it contributes."

Have to believe there is a solution to this problem. At present I would guess it is really an issue of cost effectiveness.

The unfortunate side-effect of the "free market".

Aluminum is heavier and more expensive in the short term, but that and other recyclable materials should make more sense in long-term operations in regards to the environment, land-usage and waste storage. Unfortunately when the free market is only worried about next quarter, long-term solutions aren't a big priority.
