Description:
Rising levels of gases in the Earth’s atmosphere have the potential to cause changes in our climate. Some of these emission increases can be traced directly to solid waste. The manufacture, distribution, and use of products—as well as management of the resulting waste—all result in emissions of greenhouse gases that affect the Earth’s climate. Waste prevention and recycling are real ways to help address climate change.
