The same thing with our super-modern companies and school: although they have found sophisticated ways to conceal their garbage from people's eyes, the garbage still exists and is contaminating to the atmosphere. As is known, despite their tremendous care taken to avoid lethal gas emission, the landfill may still produce emission of methane gas that is produced by the decaying waste material and modern garbage, concealed thoguh it is by our institutions, produces the same results.
Recycling is still our only option. It has a superior effect on reducing lethal emissions since it reduces the amount of energy used by the industry most of which produces fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel and coals that transform themselves into carbon dioxide, methane, and other toxic greenhouse effects. In this way, recycling acts as preventative rather than as implementation after matter (Morris, 1996). Incinerators and landfills used in recycling projects also produce reduced emissions s do slowing the harvest of trees. In 2005, for instance, recycling reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (Pennsylvania. Department of environmental protection. Recycling saves our environment).
In the final months of 2002, San Luis Obispo County compared greenhouse gas emission for recycling in 2002 as compared to greenhouse gas emissions from landfills in that same year. They showed that "producing products such as newsprint, cardboard, glass containers, aluminum can sheet and plastic pellets with virgin material emits 6,5777 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent" (San Luis Obispo County, 2004, p.16) whilst making these same products from recycled material only produced 1,685 pounds of carbon dioxide and CD equivalents. In other words, using recycled material reduces greenhouse gas emissions to 26%.
