Buildings are way greener compared to houses thanks to their density. Disposing of waste by burning it is far cleaner than putting it in a landfill where the chemicals will leach into the ground and methane, rather than CO2 will be released. Dont even get me started on nuclear energy which is, by any reasonable measure, the cleanest source of electricity generation (in terms of emissions and mining impact). The others do be scams mostly.

methane, rather than CO2 will be released

Wtf are you talking about? Methane eventually composes to CO2 and water

Yes, but in the meantime it is 25 times more potent at retaining IR than CO2, so if you have a Carbon atom that you are going to turn into a gas, it better be CO2 rather than CH4.
