Why does waste cause global warming?

Answer 1

Littering is not a direct cause of Global Warming. Littering causes pollution on the Earth, which can contribute to Global Warming. Global Warming is directly caused by greenhouse gases retaining heat in the atmosphere.

no it contributes

Answer 2

While littering is not a good thing and we should do what we can do reduce the amount we litter, it is not an issue for global warming.

No, global warming is caused by carbon dioxide, deforestation, and any greenhouse gas. Litter is just trash that hurts animals ecosystems and in return is an unpleasant sight.

Just because litter doesn't affect global warming directly, it doesn't mean we aren't responsible for it and we need to recycle, pick up trash and of course don't litter

It is very important to recycle because it helps lower the amount of litter that is spread out in the environment and into the landfills. All of us need to learn more about recycling because our ignorance in this contributes to littering. The energy used by highway cleanup crews creates even more emissions, polluting the air. There are so many things that can be recycled and reused for other purposes rather than allowing them to deface our lands.
The two issues are not related.

Answer 3

Litter really has very little effect on global warming. Litter is unsightly, and people usually use fossil fueled trucks to take it away, but it plays a very small part in producing global warming. Deforestation, and burning fossil fuels all over the planet are the main causes of global warming.

Answer 4

The two issues are hardly related.

• Littering causes huge damage to marine life, birds and other animals, mostly from discarded plastic. But it hardly contributes to global warming, except from the fact that recycling all that plastic would save the energy used to replace it. Any saving of energy slows global warming.
• Global warming is being caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and by deforestation.

Answer 5

Waste contributes to global warming if it is organic waste, that is, it used to be living. So any kind of food and vegetation is organic. When this is thrown away it decomposes. This decomposition produces carbon dioxide (if it decomposes in the air), or methane (if it decomposes without air, that is, deep in a landfill). Both these gases are greenhouse gases which capture heat in the atmosphere cUomg global warming.

Answer 6

Litter has very little to do with global warming. Recycling helps slow global warming a little, by saving energy, but only some litter can be recycled. The main problem with litter is that it is untidy.

Answer 7

it dose not cause it its the polution coming from the cars.
