Finished With That Magazine?:

Be sure to recycle your magazines and newspapers instead of throwing them in with your landfill-bound trash. Paper that decomposes in landfills produces methane – a greenhouse gas that has 23 times the heat-trapping power of carbon dioxide. Landfills are the largest methane generators, accounting for 34% of human-related methane emissions.
