everyone, let's not forget the value of recycling and such.
It doens't take much effort, but it does take some.
If you want, burn your trash, too.

Burn your trash? Is that green?
Not at normal temperatures and pressures.
Dude, so much of what we throw away could be burned.
All the cereal boxes, packaging (american advertisers love packaging)
It amounts to about 1/2 your trash, I'd bet.
Burning your plastic releases CO2, but probably less than driving to work.

And how does burning help the environment, exactly?
By the way, burning anything releases CO2, not just plastic. It also releases lots of other harmful stuff that we don't want in our skies and rivers. America, for example, would not be a fun place to live if everyone burnt their own trash.
If anything is going to be burnt, that should be handled in a special incinerator by a waste disposal service, and most of the things you mention should be recycled, anyways.

Yeah seriously.
Fire isn't the end all solution to trash. If it were that simple there would be no need to set aside land specifically for trash, everyone would just torch it.
With climate change (not to mention air pollution) looking the way it is right now, the last thing we would want to do is release even more pollutants into our atmosphere by burning trash that could be recycled.
leftover food can be composted, so can newspapers, but it's best if they're shredded first and mixed with other composting material.
We've got recycling bins in th UK which are emptied once a fortnight by recycling firms. The recycling rules are set by local governments and some are much more strict than others. They're quite lenient in my area but very strict where my friend lives. They aren't allowed to put waste food, paper, glass, or cans in their trash bins.
Burning rubbish is not green. If it really is neccessary to burn anything, at least compost the ashes or spread them thinly on the garden.
Car emmissions contribute to the greenhouse effect and 141 countries have accepted the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to cut carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Unfortunately the country which is the top polluter has refused to accept it. No prizes for guessing this country is the USA. If the man at top won't take pollution seriously it's up to the people to do something about it.
It is up to everyone of us to save the Earths resources and to recycle as much as possible.

That's much more clear in comparison to the other post.
All houses have garbage bins for garbage and one for paper, so most houses do recycle some here in Norway. Even if I don’t think about what I throw where I do actually throw paper and cartons in the paper bin, it’s something I do automatically.
My father lives to far away from the road and taking the bins out there when they are full is a bit to difficult for him, and they won’t drive up to him to get them either, so he burns his garbage.
