What are the specifics in how trash and landfills are able to produce a lot of methane?
In: 38
A lot of the material in trash is able to be decomposed by microorganisms (think food, paper products, etc.). Those organisms exhale methane similar to how we exhale CO2 when we burn energy in out cells. They can produce lots of methane because there is lots of decomposable material in landfills.
