It also has global warming impact when materials degrade in landfills, emitting methane. But when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, the top cause of global warming, the biggest threat facing the planet in my lifetime, the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation are the major sources.The Green Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465981178255092017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29774939.post-36623937671708341962007-09-17T16:47:00.000-04:002007-09-17T16:47:00.000-04:00Aren't there other environmental programs that wou...Aren't there other environmental programs that would reduce carbon burning even more?<BR/><BR/>For example, why doesn't Arlington County collect bottles and cans and paper in all public parks and rec areas, and from all apartments and condos? <BR/><BR/>Why doesn't the county government mandate that all grocery stores, hardward and drug stores sell EFL bulbs and shopping bags made from recycled plastic?<BR/><BR/>I am not even sure if one examine the dust-to-dust carbon footprint of biofuels and electric hybrid cars that significant carbon is saved.<BR/><BR/>Reduce reuse recycle. County goals should be these goals first, and only then turn to unproven technology.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644449399566188645noreply@blogger.com
