Processing of garbage turned out to be a threat to planet

Waste disposal industry in the United States, Favorite Eco -activists for Musion Processing Efforts, makes much more damage to the planet than they think, writes Reuters.

Potential threat conclusions can be made based on multi-monthly monitoring data carried out by ordering air quality control of California regulators. It was found that there are 43 percent of fixed emissions of methane – gas that contributes to global warming. In this they are bypass and manufacturers of fossil fuels, and agriculture.
