麻豆约拍

Do you ever think about what happens to your rubbish after it鈥檚 been taken away?

A proportion of it is recycled and some of it is buried in the ground, but many people do not realise that most of what we chuck in the bin is actually being burnt for energy.

The 麻豆约拍 has found that there's been a rapid rise in the burning of rubbish across the UK in recent years with major implications for the environment.

In this episode of our podcast 5 Questions On, the 麻豆约拍's climate and science reporter Esme Stallard explains why.
