> But if you put a straw in a landfill it's not going to end up in a turtle's nose.

That depends on what happens with your trash. If it stays inland in a landfill, then no. If it's sold for sorting and transported long distance on a barge, then that's possible.



And it needs to be a well placed and designed landfill:

"The Fox Glacier landfill operated from the 1960s until the early 2000s. It was eroded by the Fox River during the huge storm event on March 26 and 27."
