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.
Methane accounts for 20% of the 'enhanced greenhouse effect'. Methane is generated naturally by bacteria that break down organic matter, it is found in the guts of termites and other animals and in natural gas deposits.Methane remains in the atmosphere for 11-12 years-less time than most other greenhouse gases.ethane accounts for 20% of the 'enhanced greenhouse effect'.
