Again, this is consequential, as drier land affects the capacity of soils and vegetation to capture and store carbon, thereby worsening greenhouse gas emissions. Second, climate change is tilting the hydrological cycle: warmer temperatures result in less (blue) water in rivers and lakes and more (green) water in atmospheric rivers.

Landfilling is generally the least expensive option for sludge disposal, but it does have some environmental impacts, such as the production of greenhouse gases and the potential for leachate contamination. Mechanical dewatering methods, such as belt filters and centrifuges, can be used to physically remove water from the sludge.

Methane gas digesters are used by dairy farms to convert manure into energy and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nonetheless, the Vermont researchers cite studies showing that some portion of packaging remains in food waste even when mechanical de-packaging machines, or humans, remove it. Lobdell calls those deals myopic.

Putting a value on this carbon (and other greenhouse gases) is not a simple matter and various pricing mechanisms exist. A carbon offset tends to refer to credits being traded on a voluntary market where companies – and individuals – can buy into carbon offsetting schemes to compensate for their emissions.
