According to https://www.sandiego.gov/environmental-services/miramar, "almost 910,000 tons of trash is disposed of yearly at the Miramar Landfill. The landfill spans over 1,500 acres and is the City of San Diego's only active landfill. San Diegans throw away enough recyclables to energize over 181,000 households for a year, conserve 3,355,937 barrels of oil, and fuel over 400 cars for a year (156,610,400 gallons/25 miles per gallon/15,000 miles/year)."

It's concerning to see how much trash San Diego generates and the environmental impact landfills can have. I appreciate that this post connects local waste statistics with the bigger picture of methane emissions and resource conservation. Encouraging recycling, composting, and reducing everyday waste is a great step toward a cleaner future.
