If you waste plastic, like throwing a plastic drink bottle into landfill, instead of recycling it, you add a small amount to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
This is because it takes energy to make plastic, which is made from oil. It takes much less energy to take a used bottle, melt it and remould it into a new bottle. So recycling saves energy, most of which at the moment comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). And burning fossil fuels, as you know, releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
They slow the loss of heat
Indirectly, yes. Wasting water can result in increased energy consumption to treat and transport water, which can lead to higher greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, water scarcity and mismanagement can impact natural ecosystems, which can in turn affect carbon sequestration and release.
Carbon footprint is the term defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. It measures the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities.
yes wasting paper do affect green house effect becausepaper is made out of trees the material to prepare paper is coming from trees,and so lots of trees are being cut down to prepare bundles of papers.So grees house effect means increase of carbon dioxide due to less greenery and cutting down of trees. Hence wasting paper affect green house gases
Greenhouse gases can cause ozone depletion. This depletion can affect children's skin easily.
no

Greenhouse gases affect the temperature of the atmosphere. They capture the sun's heat and warm the planet.
Yes they do. they release greenhouse gases which affect ozone.
yes they do. They both are related.

The greenhouse affect has proven to be very hurtful to the environment.
Fuels release greenhouse gases. These gases can cause ozone depletion.
