What do we do about garbage and global warming
how can we save our planet
Barry's Response - First, we figure out if it needs saving and what we can do. Take it one step at a time if that's the case. Replace polluting industries and vehicles one by one.
Put an end
to floating garbage in our waters. Educate consumers about their environmental impact. Over time, it should work.
What's the deal with garbage and global warming? Whenever it decays in landfills or wherever it exists, microbes digest it and release carbon dioxide and methane, which is over twenty times more powerful than CO2. Some landfills are smarter than others. Instead of wasting methane, they use it for energy.
Garbage contributes much to global warming in some places. They should find more ways to reduce these emissions from this type of source. We might be able to breed a bacteria that breaks down waste fast and cleanly. As a result, landfills could use less space and release fewer gases.
How about burning it?
Combustionconverts almost any matter into airborne matter, like nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, and other stuff like dioxins, furans, and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons.
No thanks! What about composting and
recycling? Now, there's an idea...That makes sense. There are a lot of headlines with "big threat.".
There's no doubt that Earth's climate dances with danger sometimes. Has always been.
Meteorology says Earth is a fighter. She has survived things that would have fried your phone faster than you could say "TikTok"...things like asteroids, mega-volcanoes, and ice ages.
Garbage breaks down and releases methane into the air. Over 20 times better than CO2, methane traps heat. Instead of letting that gas escape, smart landfills could turn it into electricity.
The big machine of climate is made up of solar cycles, El Niño, volcanic dust,
ocean currents, forests breathing, and human influence. Here's how the weather scientist
plan to save the planet:
Make sure you don't dump stupid stuff. The forests and oceans do the magic, recycling beats roasting garbage, and they eat carbon better than any tax. Fear sells, but so does clickbait, so laugh more. It's been worse.
Ancient Greeks knew about life cycles. There are seasons, storms, and death. Japanese people celebrate fleeting moments with "mono no aware" - the beauty of impermanence.
We're nature, not nature fighting us. Let's live smart, stay free, and let science thrive.
