So it is better to bury or compost waste than to burn it? (as in bonfires.) If I resurrect my kitchen compost instead of throwing it all in the trash, will I be helping?
Is it better to grow grass than trees? (which absorbs more C02?) Is it better not to mow your lawn? (I bet the answer is yes. I hear gas mowers are big polluters).
Is burning leaves a no-no?
I wish I could get simple guides about what simple activities we should change. (beyond the obvious, like driving less...if only that were possible!!)
