Mother Nature Needs A Fast From Pollution

A new report—Stop Trashing the Climate—concludes that increased recycling and composting are easily-achievable and essential measures to help meet U.S. greenhouse gas reduction targets. Along with waste prevention, expanded recycling and composting can have the same climate protection impact as closing 21% of the nation's 417 coal-burning power plants according to the report. The report shows that zero waste—preventing waste and strengthening recycling and composting—is one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective strategies for confronting global warming.
