Municipal solid waste management and treatment activities are sources of #methane emissions worldwide. In partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, GMI developed the Solid Waste Emissions Estimation Tool (SWEET) to help cities quantify emissions of methane and other pollutants from municipal solid waste sources. A new version of this free, Excel-based tool is now available on our website: http://ow.ly/6JJk50Hbm0i
