As many landfills run out of space, some communities are making plans and tackling their heaping piles of garbage with innovativ

e solutions. Of the garbage Americans produce every day, only about thirty percent reaches a recycling center. Education about how and what to recycle is costly but essential. Much of the junk we consume and throw out is not designed with recycling in mind. This solid waste creates one of the biggest problems: recyclable material is clogging landfills. In order to extend the lifespan of their landfills, some communities are expanding recycling programs and trying new technologies to turn trash into energy. A few cities are planning new energy plants that burn garbage to produce energy while still producing less pollution than landfills. Several other cities have facilities that use bioreactor landfills to speed up the decomposition process for trash from 100 years to 5-10 years. The costs and pollution generated by landfills force communities to think creatively about what to do with everything we throw out.
Which of the following sentences from the paragraph is the topic sentence?
1. In order to extend the lifespan of their landfills, some communities are expanding recycling programs and trying new technologies to turn trash into energy.

When you complete a job, but use more time and effort than is truly necessary, how have you worked?
Kamila [148]
<span><span>1.       </span>If you are working to complete your job task but used more time and effort that what is truly necessary, then you are considered as working effectively but not efficiently.
working effectively means you are doing what is expected to you and being productive with the task that is given to you.
Working efficiently is simply completing your job on or before the schedule. You finish what is assigned to you in a shorter time than expected. Since you extended your time, thus your not working effeciently</span>
