73What Is The Environmental Impact Of Diverting Paper From The Waste Stream For Use As Fuel ?
We could reduce Global Warming by using paper diverted from our landfills as fuel in place of coal. Using paper in this fashion prevents the burning of coal releasing CO2 that has been sequestered for millions of years. The environmental impact of using paper fiber as fuel is positive compared to current fossil fuel practices. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is significant. Landfill life expectancy may be dramatically increased by diversion of raw materials from the waste stream.
