the suitable way to deal with the waste

Nowadays, watse has been a major problem for our society. Usually there are two ways to deal with the waste. One is landfilling and the other is zero waste. Just like its name, landfilling is a method for final disposal of solid waste on land while for zero waste, nothing is actually disposed. Things we once throwed away can be repaired, reused or recycled. Thus zero waste is more environmentally friendly compared to landfilling.
As far as concerned, the zero waste method is more suitable for China. There are mainly three reasons. Firstly, using zero waste method will save a lt of land. As we know, the amount of houseland rubbish is enormous and still in increasing trend. If everything is dumped into the groud, it will take a lot of space. Therefore zero waste method will somehow help to solve the problem of the shortage of farmland. Secondly, zero waste method can do a favor to reduce the risk of health. The air pollution can be decreased if we apply this method, because the rubbish can be reused and recycled instead of becoming landfills. This is a healthier way for us. Last but not the least, the recycling programme relating to zero waste can provide more job opportunities. It is attractive for people to take part in while doing well to the environment at the same time.
To sum up, the zero waste method is a better disposal scheme for China to adopt.

good job and clear ideas. however, there are some mistakes in spelling.
And i think "the pollution" should "decrease", not "be decreased". this mistake is the one i also often made because i know the mistake is from my mother tongue's grammar. :):).
Furthermore, you should confine your verbal sentences in academic writing such as "a healthier way".
but in general, you have a good post/ ~_~

I also think zero waste is suitable in China. All the materials can be resused, which means a lot of energy can be saved. I agree with long, there are minor mistakes in your article. But, anyway, it's a good post. Nice try, Jingyu.
