Recycling takes hit in wake of emissions study

摘要

A research paper on individual steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has precipitated a host of mainstream media stories, many of which aren't kind to recycling. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada and Lund University in Sweden, explored which individual lifestyle choices people can make to reduce their carbon contributions. The resulting paper, published in July by lOPScience, contrasted the most effective choices with gov- ernment messaging, noting there is often a disconnect.
