Amazing new report that links trash to climate change. Includes recommendations on zero waste, incinerators, packaging regulations, composting and recycling.
See it for yourself here.
This report outlines the link between climate change and unsustainable patterns of consumption and wasting. It deals with the myths about the climate benefits of landfill gas recovery and waste incineration and outlines several policies the authors believe are needed to effect change, and even offers a roadmap for how to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within a short period.
The report states that significantly decreasing waste disposed in landfills and incinerators will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to the equivalent of closing 21% of U.S. coal-fired power plants.
Imagine how much better the environment could be if we could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by that much! And don’t forget that another way to achieve this is to use a really good fuel additive that will make your car as energy efficient as possible while you need to continue using a gas or bio-fuel powered car..
