HI
John Davis in California used the EPA/WARM to
calculate the GHG reductions if everything in California that could be
recycled or composted was . His result is that it is equivalent
to eliminating exhaust from all the automobiles in the State. I think that
is a big impact on climate change and 90% is achievable, with new
rules. Jeff Morris reports even greater
savings.
I think it is about redesign and reuse
and recycling is the lowest form of reuse.
