That apostrophe is doing some heavy lifting
Big "The panda eats shoots and leaves" energy.
Neighbors of China:
That is a very important apostrophe.
Maybe the CCP can invest in harvesting ocean garbage, or importing all those single-use sachets they've been selling to the neighboring countries?
Incineration doesn't help the greenhouse gas problem though... It just takes garbage and puts it in the atmosphere. Not what the world really needs right now.
The greenhouse emissions problem depends on where that garbage would otherwise end up, and what would happen with it.
If the garbage would otherwise be recycled fully then incineration would seem like a worse option. But if the garbage would otherwise end up in a landfill, it leads to decomposition and methane production. Methane is one of the worst greenhouse gasses out there, so incineration might be preferable to just leaving it be.
I'm no expert whatsoever, so take my comment with a grain of salt.. I may be misinformed
Burn garbage isn’t eco!
From my understanding it can be done relatively cleanly with filtration, and its much better for the environment than letting it sit on a landfill generating methane
(Not an expert, so I might be incorrect)
Yeah, we all know Communist Chinese Government is great at supervision and transparency of their quality control. CCP will feed you shit and force you to praise their greatest literally. The tap water in their was turning full brown and smelly as shit in one city and the CCP tell you its fine, and anyone discuss the matter will be banned or face secret police.
