St Mary's Weekly Eco Tip: Recycle or compost your waste
What has waste got to do with global warming? More than 50% of our waste gets sent to landfill or burnt in incinerators. Both release planet-warming gases into the atmosphere: methane from landfill, carbon dioxide and some other nasties – from incinerators. It’s much better to recycle and compost. For example, 20 times more energy is used to make a new can than one from recycled sources. Buying less stuff or buying second-hand is even better.
