Organic discards‚ such as food scraps‚ manures and grass clippings‚ under wet and oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions‚ produce methane. When waste ends up in landfill‚ the methane gas can be produced for years due to the decaying organic matter and escapes from landfills either directly to the atmosphere or by diffusion through the cover soil. The composting process has the potential to produce some GHG‚ though those can be minimized. It’s also worth mentioning

Bottled Water is causing damage to the Environment. Along with all the bottles that end up in landfills or the bottles that get burned (sending tons of pollution into the air)‚ the gasoline and other fossil fuels that it requires making all of the bottles is both a waste of fossil fuels and damages the environment.

Despite their popularity in manufacturing products‚ the use of them is not sustainable as most are non-biodegradable so they will not break down in landfill.

When thrown out‚ the metals and toxins found in the batteries (such as cadmium and mercury) can seep into soil and water supplies‚ and release toxic chemicals into the air when they are burned in waste combustors. In addition‚ the landfills‚ where the batteries get sent to‚ produce methane gas which adds on to the "greenhouse effect" and worsens global warming.
