An empathetic person is someone who can share another person's feelings. If you tell an empathetic person that your heart is broken, she might touch her own heart and gaze at you sadly through moist eyes. Empathetic is a recent term; it comes from empathy, which was coined by the German philosopher Rudolf Lotze in 1858. Lotze believed that when you look at a work of art, you project your own sensibilities onto it.
Landfills are the single largest human source of methane emissions in the world. Even with the best technology, most of the methane from landfills is released into the atmosphere. By composting, the generation of greenhouse gases, particularly methane, is avoided.
There are about 370 landfills in California which due to their waste-in-place or permitted volume, waste age, and other pertinent factors have the potential to emit significant quantities of. methane. Methane is a GHG with a global warming potential of about 211 times that of carbon. dioxide.
