| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | - Each individual generates about 1.5 tons of solid waste per year - about
| + | |
| - | 4.5 pounds per person, per day. If we continue this pattern, we'll each
| + | |
| - | create 90,000 pounds of trash in our lifetime (Resource Conservation
| + | |
| - | Challenge, EPA, 2002)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | - 55.4% of municipal solid waste is landfilled in 2003 (EPA)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | - Landfills rank #2 in highest greenhouse gas emissions in the US (after
| + | |
| - | fossil fuel combustion) (White House Taskforce on Recycling, 1998)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | - 1,830,000 tons of disposable plates and cups were used in the US in 1997
| + | |
| - | (up from 270,000 tons in 1960) (EPA, 1998)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | - 58% of municipal waste (by weight) are packaging and containers, or
| + | |
| - | disposable products such as paper and plastic cups and plates, junk mail,
| + | |
| - | trash bags, and tissue papers and towels. (EPA, 2003)
