Because the amount of atmospheric carbon is well known and conservation of matter requires a balanced global carbon budget, this previously unaccounted for source of carbon to the atmosphere implies the existence of an additional continental carbon sink such as higher rates of biomass accrual in forests.
Students do projects demonstrating an engineering principle--such as energy conservation using a commercial heat exchanger, river flow modeling, or conservation of matter through paper recycling.
There is nothing on waste disposal: the law of the conservation of matter means that every atom brought into the service of mankind becomes waste, in different forms and over different time-scales, and has to be disposed of - usually in the countryside.
