In response to this‚ government worker Jay Winston Porter published “An Agenda for Action” which was read nationally. It said such things as “…recycling is vital”‚ “We’re running out of places to dispose our trash”‚ and “1/3 of the nations landfills will be full within the next few years.” Since “An Agenda for Action” was written the percentage of trash recycled

composting solid waste is clear when you consider the amount of disposal space required to accept that material. By implementing other waste- management strategies (as well as resource-management strategies)‚ we reduce our dependence on incinerators and landfills. And when using recycled materials in place of trees‚ metal ores and minerals‚ there is less pressure to expand forestry and mining production. Recycling is more than a waste-management strategy; it is also an important strategy for reducing the

one way or another Most of the U.K.’s waste currently ends up in landfill sites‚ large holes in the ground which‚ over time‚ are filled up with rubbish. Once a landfill site is full‚ it is covered over‚ meaning that all of the materials in the site are buried and no longer of use. Also‚ although most landfill sites are well managed‚ people don’t tend to like living near them. In any case‚ the space available to create new landfill sites is now almost all used up‚ so we’re going to have to think about

environmental public health problem that the next President of the United States should place at the top of his or her platform. Of the 60 million tons of food waste generated in 2010‚ 40 million tons ended up in landfills (Food Waste Reduction Alliance‚ 2013). Food that ends up in landfills ultimately contributes to pollution and global warming‚ as it rots and emits copious amounts of methane‚ a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times more potent global warming potential than
