A recent report has highlighted the urgent need for the United States to take action in reducing landfill methane emissions. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is released during the decomposition of organic waste in landfills and is a significant contributor to climate change.
The report emphasizes that the US must implement measures to slash methane emissions from landfills to mitigate the impact on the environment and public health. Landfills are currently one of the largest sources of methane emissions in the country, accounting for a substantial portion of total greenhouse gas emissions.
