Question

If, instead of having garbage picked up, you burn it, what effect does that have on the environment?

Answer 2

Well that's not good especially if your burning plastic. When you burn plastic the gases it releases are poisonous. Burning organic trash is a waste when it can be used as compost. At the end its not good for the environment when all can be recycled. Effects can be releasing poisonous gases into the air and releasing carbon dioxide into the air when you burn organic material. Remember sometimes it takes more energy to create something rather then recycle it.
