Landfills: landfills are places where our rubbish goes to be put underground, then to put the ground back on top of our rubbish to prevent the methane gases going into the air, also so that area can be used in future for a field people can play on. a problem is that the landfills pollutes the air. most of the time we use the methane gas for a fuel to provide electricity, if there is not enough methane gas and not worth wile getting, that is one way of using the methane, a big problem is that most of our plastic bags we send to the landfill gets blown away by the wind.If we do not do this the methane gas goes into the air and causes air pollution and all the animals and people there has a very good chance tho get ill. the other way of using the methane as is to burn it.

There are four main ways to reduce the amount of rubbish that end up in land fill sites. They are sometimes called the 4 R'S.

RECYCLE: to send a old product that is recyclable to a place where it will be broken down and a new will be made. REUSE: we can reuse a bottle over and over. REFUSE: we can refuse a plastic bag at the shop. REDUCE:we can use both sides of a paper to reduce the amount of waisted paper.
