What's wrong with burning waste? The burning of rubbish and organic waste in open fires is very bad for the environment. It produces nearly a third of global black carbon emissions. Soot from open waste burning has a strong warming effect on the earth. It warms the earth by trapping sunlight and releasing it as heat. It is one of the main causes of global warming.
