Waste management is important for the environment. Waste can cause pollution and disease if it is not handled properly. There are many different methods of waste management to help ease the
environmental pressures imposed by waste. Modern methods include recycling, composting,
incineration, sustainability, landfill, integration, waste-to-energy, and waste minimization. The
planet depends on a successful approach to waste disposal.
Landfills are waste disposal sites. They are often man-made depressions in the ground covered with a
lining designed to prevent any leakage of waste materials. However, landfills can leak through the base
resulting in negative impacts on the surrounding environments. What negative impact to the
environment is caused by the production of methane gas in landfills?
