MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which sentence supports the author's message?
I will share why everyone should make recycling a part of their daily lives.
When waste decomposes in landfills, it releases harmful gases like methane, which contribute to climate change.
For example, recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for three hours!
Many people don’t realize that our waste can have a huge impact on the environment.
