Increase waste diversion and optimize collection and disposal systems 135,100 MTCO2e reduced <br />Waste collection and processing release a significant amount of methane gas, a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 84 times greater than carbon dioxide. Diverting <br />waste from the landfill and optimizing collection and disposal not only reduces processing emissions, it increases the supply of recycled and composted content available for a <br />variety of uses and helps improve local air and soil quality. <br />Supporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 (MTCO2e) <br />E7.

Enhance sustainable production and reduce consumption Supports emissions reduction <br />Recognizing the significant GHG emissions from consumption must ultimately be reduced through consumer behavior change, efforts to reduce barriers to and incentivize <br />sustainable consumption are essential to meaningful reductions in consumption-based emissions. Sustainable consumption can increase waste diversion, which supports local air <br />and soil quality improvements. It also supports the local economy and can strengthen social ties and financial resilience as communities rely more on local businesses. <br />Supporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 (MTCO2e) <br />E9.
