When the human population inevitably crashes, who will take care of all those dangerous nuclear and chemical waste? It is all over, we can clearly see it on the pictures accompanying this post.

Once you reach a certain age, you're humanely put to sleep, permanently, and a sterilization lottery is enacted to keep birth numbers at desired levels. Or, we just let it play out of its own accord, and that won't be a pretty sight.<br /><br />My bet. The planet burns to a cinder in a nuclear conflagration.
