While recycling and composting programs in Canada currently divert a total of about 29% of solid waste from disposal, the other 71% is either dumped at landfill sites or burned.
These practices release 3 of the principal greenhouse gases that are responsible for climate change: Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous oxide, and Methane.
