and other problems with landfills will help reduce greenhouse gasses and other hazardous wastes, while relieving the stress of finding ways to help the landscape and biodiversity of earth tremendously. The topics that will be discussed are about Landfills, Biodegradation, and hazardous wastes. Landfills, have become more and more of a problem each and every day because the Americans are producing more waste than they have been. Individually, we need to find better ways to fix our biodegradation

Hog farms are plentiful in North Carolina, but the 40 million gallons of untreated hog waste created everyday creates more than just a foul smell.

effects on our environment which in turn has bad effects on our health and well-being. Transformation of some parts of the land surface for urban utilizations is a standout amongst the most irreversible human effects on the worldwide biosphere. It accelerates the loss of exceptionally productive farmlands, increases energy demands, affects climate change, and pollutes the land, air and water bodies. These effects of swift urban expansion go far beyond the urban areas to the surrounding remote areas
