Question

How can washing plastic in warm water
before recycling actually put more
carbon in the atmosphere?
The plastic will evaporate in the
heat putting carbon in the
atmosphere.
The plastic will melt and go down
the drain, eventually ending in
the atmosphere
Plastic is not made of carbon, so
no carbon can go into the
atmosphere.
In order to heat water, carbon
based fuel is burned, and that
results in more carbon in the
atmosphere.
None of these.

What are 2 materials the US EPA says
make sense economically and
environmentally to recycle?
O paper and plastic
O paper and aluminum
O plastic and glass
Oglass and paint
O all of these make sense
economically and environmentally
to recycle.
