Landfills Lines with Peat?

Vancouver, British Columbia is suffering a garbage crunch: too much waste, not enough space. One plan calls for increasing the amount of waste dumped at Burns Bog–a compressed peat-lined landfill! To be sure, concerns are being raised over the lack of a modern lining system. Garbage may be exported to the US for burial while the city tries to find an acceptable location for a new landfill’s construction.
