Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Over the years, there have been various solutions proposed – diversion, burning, etc.; however, nothing to date has proven to be a truly effective or environmentally responsible solution to the burgeoning global landfill problem.


In fact, many existing solutions have been just the opposite: costly, energy inefficient or equally as harmful to the environment as the plastic itself. 

It's only now, converting plastic waste to fuel is a solution that is not only economically viable, but that is remarkably simple and "green" as well.


Option A is correct.
