> If you're throwing carbon in a landfill and it doesn't decompose, it's not climate change. If it goes in landfill, it's not being reused or recycled to prevent more carbon from being produced to make something new. Some recycling processes are fairly energy intensive so the carbon savings are not always significant but recycling still reduces demand to extract more raw materials.
