Israel Prevents Environmental Catastrophe in Samaria

The Civil Authority and the IDF has cleared out 20,000 cubic tons of trash from an illegal Arab dump in Samaria, after ongoing appeals from an environmental organization. The Yarok Achshav (“Green Now”) group expressed its satisfaction at the resolution of the issue, preventing further damage to the environment by Arabs in the area.

The site of the dump, near the Arab village of Kafr Duma, was situated right atop a well that tapped directly in into the large aquifer that runs under Samaria. As such, there was a strong danger that the groundwater throughout the entire region would have been polluted by chemicals, medical waste, and other toxic materials Arabs dumped without regard to the environment at the site.

Appeals to the village elders by the organization went unanswered, even though they endangered more than anyone. The group then sought assistance from the Civil Authority, which has a special department that deals with environmental issues.

...[I]n December, the Civil Authority said it had begun organizing the removal project. Officials then requested the assistance of the Duma village leaders in the removal of the trash, and this time they responded positively.

This time they sucked up to the elders enough that they didn't feel dissed. The previous time, they simply said "Hey, dummies. You want your kids to be born with two heads and no peckers?" and their Arab dignity was offended, so they responded "two heads are better than one. We already were born with no peckers."

What is a cubic ton?

[Ingtar]

Forty feet cubed is a cubic ton.

[Ingtar]

Or 1.28 billion cubic feet. Something seems wrong here :)

What is a cubic ton?

Is a cubic ton of feathers lighter than a cubic ton of lead?

I think the author got metric ton (mass) and cubic meter (volume) confused, without more information it's impossible to determine which it was supposed to be.
