What This Means

The EPA is approving Texas's plan for reducing methane and other harmful air pollution from existing landfills across the state. Landfill operators will need to follow new requirements to capture and treat gases that escape from buried garbage, which affects anyone living near these facilities and the companies that run them. This matters because methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, and the captured gases can also improve local air quality for nearby residents.
