Curbside recycling can compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions from garbage destined for landfills, says a new study that encourages towns and cities to continue offering recycling services to meet their climate goals.
The study's authors took a deep dive into the economic and environmental value of community recycling efforts and compared it to the value of other climate change mitigation practices. They concluded that recycling provides a return on investment similar to or better than environmentally friendly strategies like transitioning to electric vehicles or purchasing green power, which is electricity from clean, renewable energy sources.
"Eliminating recycling squanders one of the easiest opportunities for communities and citizens to help lessen the impact of climate change and reduce our demands on natural resources," said Timothy Townsend, a professor of environmental engineering sciences at the University of Florida and one of the study's authors. "Recycling won't solve the problem alone, but it is part of the puzzle."

Syntax at Swampcon in Gainesville, Florida!
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT, EVERYONE!
As you may have seen on our Twitter, we have been invited as guest panelists to SwampCon, a large multi-media con taking place at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida! We are SO thrilled to be a part of a convention, and are the ONLY audio drama/podcasters being invited to participate!
Stella "Rowan" Odom, creator and producer of Syntax, will be presenting a panel with a few of our voice actors and technical crew from Syntax! Our panel will be titled "Horror In Audio: How to Scare Your Mind" and will focus on SFX and the world of horror audio dramas! We will be showing how we create some of your favorite monster noises from the ground up, as well as using examples from other audio dramas to really SELL the horror aspect with audio only!
Not only that, but our voice actors will be speaking on how it feels to voice in the horror sphere, and how to sell the emotion of being scared out of your mind! There will also (hopefully) be a Q&A portion at the end!
The panel will be in the Auditorium of the Reitz Union Center on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida, on March 25th at 6pm EST.
If you're unable to attend in real life, we will be streaming it to our YouTube here! The panel will be taking place on Saturday, 3/25 at 6pm EST! https://t.co/MlGXOxXAQd
We are so excited to be panelists at this event, and cannot wait to show you some of our production, as well as bringing more attention to audio dramas as a whole!
