• L - Linear economy. This is the system where raw materials are sourced, made into products which are then used and thrown away. However, a circular economy uses fewer raw materials, creates products that are designed to last, easy to repair and can be recycled many times, therefore creating less waste.
• M - Methane is a greenhouse gas and is almost 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Half of methane now comes from human activity such as oil and gas production, coal mining, cattle and sheep farming and from landfill sites.
There is evidence that methane is now seeping from the Antarctic seabed and from previously frozen areas of land.
