GEEK STUFF
In 2012, 32 million tons of plastic waste was generated in the US. Of that, only 9% of the total plastic wasted generated was recovered for recycling (Source US EPA). The rest is dumped in landfills.
Be choosey about what you throw away. Approximately 80 million tons of waste (U.S. EPA figures) which goes to landfill annually is material which under the right conditions, can be turned into compost, including food scraps, yard trimmings and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill environment, this trapped organic material (leaves, grass etc.) releases methane gas—a greenhouse gas—contributing to global warming. Diverting food scraps and yard trimmings from landfill to compost facilities—either municipal or commercial in areas where available—contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources.
