“What is the world if it isn’t a closed system? Pretend for a minute that garbage is the same thing as energy. The world puts its crap out in a bucket on the street for Monday’s pickup and it says that’s the same thing as making it disappear. But it never disappears. All that crap ends up on this island, and we’re nothing more than universal garbage collectors. In a way, you could think of the pigs as transformed garbage. They get bigger and bigger and bigger, but they can’t go away. Imagine what would happen if they did.”
