than 3/4th of the gases produced or mobilized in a landfill are, over its life, released uncontrolled into the atmosphere
Source of methane. There would not be substantial volumes of uncontrolled methane produced from garbage were we to discontinue disposing of our organic discards deep in lined landfills
