The Great Recycling Mystery - Solved!

It’s a sad tale. You spend time every week sorting your recyclables, and then – poof – they’re off into the great abyss, never to be heard from again. You wonder if they have gone on to better things – biofuel perhaps? – and if they offset some emissions along the way. Now, the EPA has come up with an individual version of IWarm, which estimates the climate benefit you’ve incurred by recycling instead of landfilling your refuse. You download an excel file, a kind of calculator where you input what you’ve recycled and get the impact of all your hard work!
